H2O (g) + C (s) = H2 (g) + CO (g); ΔH = +131 kJ mol^-1*
When steam was passed over coke at 730°C, the following partial pressures were measured at equilibrium:*
p(H2O) = 90 kPa*
p(H2) = 183 kPa*
State what the equilibrium partial pressure of carbon monoxide is and hence calculate the equilibrium constant.*
Is the equilibrium partial pressure of CO 183 kPa?
What about the equilibrium constant, is it 372.1 kPa?
If the partial pressure of steam is increased to 150 kPa, what will be the new equilibrium partial pressure of hydrogen?
