Answer to Question #200695 in General Chemistry for saba

Question

Carbon monoxide gas, CO_(g), is a primary starting material in the synthesis of many organic compounds, including methanol, CH₃OH_(l). At 2000⁰C, K is 6.40x10^-7 for the decomposition of carbon dioxide gas, CO_2(g), into carbon monoxide and oxygen, O_2(g). Calculate the concentrations of all entities at equilibrium if 0.250mol of CO_2(g) is placed in a 1.000L closed container heated to 2000⁰C.

    2CO_2(g) → 2CO_(g) + O_2(g)

Answer 1

= 6.4 × 10⁷ × 0.250/1000 × 2000

= 8 mol/L
