Question

Coal (solid carbon plus a collection of impurities) can be converted to a mixture of carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas by the following process:    C(s) + 2H2O(g)   CO2(g) + 2H2(g)   Keq = 0.38 at 1300 K

At an industrial plant, a mixture of coal and water is placed inside a steel reaction vessel. When the mixture is heated to 1300 K, the equilibrium partial pressure of water is 2.80E2 bar. Calculate the following equilibrium partial pressures:

Partial pressure of CO2? and  H2 ? (in bar)
