Question

The reaction between SO3 (g) and CO2 (g) is based on the chemical equation below.

2 SO3 (g) +  CO2 (g) =  CS2 (g) + 4 O2 (g)

At 500 oC, we mix 0.20 mol SO3 (g) 0.25 mol CO2 (g) and 1.20 mol O2 (g) (without CS2 (g)) initially in a 1-L bottle. After the reaction reaches equilibrium, the amount of SO3 (g) becomes 0.12 mol. Determine the value of the equilibrium constant of the above reaction (with 2 significant figures).
