Question

Consider the following reaction:

CO (g)  +  H2O (g)  <===> CO2 (g)  +  H2 (g)

 

a.  Write the expression for the equilibrium constant (K) of the reaction

 

b.  Calculate the value for K using the following concentrations of each substance at equilibrium:

 

[CO) = 0.55 M

[H2O) = 0.44 M

[CO2) = 0.25 M

[H2) = 0.10 M

 

c.  Based on the value you obtained for K, are the products or reactants lower in energy?

 

d.  Is the value for ΔH negative or positive?
