An industrial chemist puts 1.05 mol each of H2(g) and CO2(g) in a 1.00-L container at a certain temperature. When equilibrium is reached, 0.72 mol of CO(g) is in the container. Find Keq at this temperature for the following reaction: H2(g) + CO2(g)↔H2O(g) + CO(g) Hint: Determine the expression for Keq (and notice that the answer will be unitless). For fixed T and V, remember that n will be proportional to P for ideal gases

Question

An industrial chemist puts 1.05 mol each of H2(g) and CO2(g) in a 1.00-L container at a certain temperature. When equilibrium is reached, 0.72 mol of CO(g) is in the container.

Find Keq at this temperature for the following reaction:

H2(g) + CO2(g)↔H2O(g) + CO(g)

Hint: Determine the expression for Keq (and notice that the answer will be unitless). For fixed T and V, remember that n will be proportional to P for ideal gases
