What are the equilibrium partial pressures of coco and co2co2 if coco is the only gas present initially, at a partial pressure of 0.900 atmatm ?

Answer :

                                                 CO                     CO2

Initial partial pressure               1                        0.9

Equilibrium partial pressure     1 - x                     0.9 + x

The equilibrium constant is Kp=PCO2/PCO.

Substitute values: 0.259=(0.9+x) / 1−x

Hence, x = .  -0.509

Hence, the equilibrium partial pressures of CO and CO2 are 1.509 atm, -0.509 atm respectively.

The pressure that is exerted with the aid of one among the mixture of gases if it occupies the identical quantity on its very own is acknowledged as Partial pressure. Every gasoline exerts sure strain in a mixture.
