What is the percentage of CO2 at equilibrium?
« on: December 26, 2008, 11:08:43 AM »
The equilibrium constant for the reaction CO(g) + H2O(g) <-----> CO2(g) + H2(g) is 4 at 1000 K. When equilibrium mixtures of CO and H2O are heated to 1000 K, the percentage of CO2 formed at equilibrium is:

A)67
B)33
C)50
D)78

The problem would become solvable if data on initial composition is provided.
"Say you're in a [chemical] plant and there's a snake on the floor. What are you going to do? Call a consultant? Get a meeting together to talk about which color is the snake? Employees should do one thing: walk over there and you step on the friggin� snake." - Jean-Pierre Garnier, CEO of Glaxosmithkline, June 2006
