Question

1.) What are the equilibrium partial pressures of CO and CO2 if co is the gas present initially, at a partial pressure of .912 atm. Kp = 19.9
Fe2O3 + 3CO <--> 2Fe + 3CO2


I'm trying to find partial pressure of both CO and CO2 by calculating for "x" in the equilibrium problem

Answer 1

Good. What you have done makes sense. Where are you stuck? Post your work and let me take a look. If you are stumped by the "cubic" equation, just take the cube root of both sides and that will leave a linear equation to solve which is easy enough.
