Question
The water-gas-shift reaction, CO(g) + H₂O(g) →→ CO₂(g) + H₂(g) is carried out under the different sets of conditions described below. Calculate the fraction of steam reacted in each case. Assume the mixture behaves as an ideal gas. (a) The reactants consist of 1 mol of H₂O vapor and 2 mol of CO. The temperature is 1,100 K and the pressure is 1 bar. (b) Same as (a) except that the pressure is 5 bar. (c) Same as (a) except that 2 mol of N₂ is included in the reactants. (d) The reactants are 2 mol of H₂O and 2 mol of CO. Other conditions are the same as in (a). (e) The reactants are 3 mol of H₂O and 2 mol of CO. Other conditions are the same as in (a). (f) The initial mixture consists of 2 mol of H₂O, 1 mol of CO, and 1 mol of CO₂. Other conditions are the same as in (a). (g) Same as (a) except that the temperature is 1,650 K.
