Chapter 14, Problem 14.90QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The ratio of $\left[\text{CO}\right]$ to $\left[{\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}\right]$ in an atmosphere at $2000°\text{C}$ is to be calculated for the given reaction.

Concept introduction: The equilibrium constant $\left(K_{\text{c}}\right)$ is expressed as,

$K_{\text{c}}=\frac{{\left[\text{Product}\right]}^y}{{\left[\text{Reactant}\right]}^x}$

To determine: The ratio of $\left[\text{CO}\right]$ to $\left[{\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}\right]$ in an atmosphere at $2000°\text{C}$.
