Q.

A mixture of 1 mole of H2O and 1 mole of CO is taken in a 10 litre container and heated to 725 K. At equilibrium 40% of water by mass reacts with carbon monoxide according to the equation:

CO(g)+H2O(g)CO2(g)+H2(g)

The equilibrium constant Kc×102 for the reaction is ________. (Nearest integer)         [2023]


Ans.

(44)

CO+H2OCO2+H2t=01100eq.1-0.41-0.40.40.4

V=10 L                             KC=0.4×0.40.6×0.6=49=0.44

KC×100=44
