One of the reaction that takes place in producing steel from iron ore is the reduction of iron(II) oxide by carbon monoxide to give iron metal and CO 2 .
FeO s +CO g   Fe s + CO 2 g ; K P =0.265atm at 1050K. What are the equilibrium partial pressures of CO andCO2respectively at 1050K if the initial partial pressures are:Pco=1.4atm andPCO2=0.80 atm?

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:



KP=0.265=0.8-x1.4+x
On solving, x=0.339
PCO=1.739 atm andPCO2=0.461 atm
