Question

At a given temperature the reaction, CO+H₂O<—>H₂+CO₂ produces the following concentrations. Find the K_c.

CO= 0.200 M

H₂O= 0.500 M

H₂= 0.32 M

CO₂= 0.42 M

Answer 1

The equilibrium is givne as

Kc = prodyucts / reactants

then

Kc = [CO][H2O]]/[CO2][[H2]

Kc = (0.32×0.42)/(0.3×(3.3×10^-2))

Kc = 48.1333
