Characteristics of Equilibrium Constant

Water gas, a ...

Question

Water gas, a mixture of $H_{2}$ and CO, is an important industrial fuel produced by the reaction of steam with red hot coke, essentially pure carbon. Write the expression for the equilibrium for the equilibrium constant for the reversible reaction. $C (s) + H_{2} O (g) ⇌ C O (g) + H_{2} (g)$ , $Δ H = 131.30$ kJ.

Solution

The given reaction is :-
$C (s) + H_{2} O (g) \Rightarrow C O (g) + H_{2} (g); △ H = 131.3 K J$
Now,
$K_{P} = \frac{p_{C O} . p_{H_{2}}}{P_{H_{2} O}}$
