Using the general properties of equilibrium constants
At a certain temperature, the equilibrium constant K for the following reaction is 2.5 × 105:
CO(g) + H2O(g) CO2(g) + H2(g)
Use this information to complete the following table.
Suppose a 7.0 L reaction vessel is filled with 1.7 mol of CO and
1.7 mol of H2O. What can you say about the composition of the
mixture in the vessel at equilibrium?
What is the equilibrium constant for the following reaction? Be
sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
CO2(9)+H2(g)
CO(g)+H₂O(g)
What is the equilibrium constant for the following reaction? Be
sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
3 CO(g)+3H2O(g)
= 3 CO2(g)+3H2(g)
