Consider the following reaction.

CO(g) + H20(g) = CO2(g) + H2 (g)

Part 1 of 2

Write the expression for the equilibrium constant for this reaction.

K=

Calculate K using the following concentrations of each substance at equilibrium:

[co]= 0.090 M, [H20]= 0.24 M, [CO2] = 0.15 M, [H2]= 0.60 M
Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant figures.

K=

1 answer

K = [CO2][H2] / [CO][H2O]
K = (0.15)(0.60) / (0.090)(0.24)
K = 0.09 / 0.0216
K = 4.17

Therefore, K = 4.2
