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
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.
