Consider the following equilibrium process at 686°C:
 
CO2(g) + H2(g) ⇌ CO(g) + H2O(g)
 
The equilibrium concentrations of the reacting species are [CO] = 0.0480 M, [H2] = 0.0400 M
[CO2] = 0.0830 M,
 and [H2O] = 0.0420 M.
 
(a) Calculate Kc for the reaction at 686°C.
 
 

 
(b) If we add CO2 to increase its concentration to 0.480 mol / L, what will the concentrations of all the gases be when equilibrium is reestablished?
