Question
The reaction ZnO(s) + CO(g) $\rightleftharpoons$Zn(g) + CO2(g) has an equilibrium constant of 1 atm at 1500 K. The equilibrium partial pressure of zinc vapour in a reaction vessel if an equimolar mixture of CO and CO2 is brought into contact with solid ZnO at 1500 K and the equilibrium is achieved at 1 atm is
Options
A.0.68 atm
B.0.76 atm
C.0.24 atm
D.0.5 atm
Solution
ZnO(s) + CO(g) $\rightleftharpoons$ Zn(g) + Co2(g); Kp = 1 atm
a atm 0 a atm
Equilibrium a – x x a + x
$K_{p} = \frac{P_{Zn}.P_{CO_{2}}}{P_{CO}} \Rightarrow 1 = \frac{x(a + x)}{a - x}$
and (a – x) + x + (a + x) = Ptotal = 1 atm ∴ x = 0.24
