Chapter 15, Problem 15.87QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The equilibrium partial pressure of $\text{CO}$ and ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ at $700°\text{C}$ is to be calculated for the given reaction.

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

$K_{\text{p}}=\frac{{\left(P_{\text{C}}\right)}^c{\left(P_{\text{D}}\right)}^d}{{\left(P_{\text{A}}\right)}^a{\left(P_{\text{B}}\right)}^b}$

To determine: The equilibrium partial pressure of $\text{CO}$ and ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ at $700°\text{C}$.
