Question

Consider the water-shift gas reaction:

H2​O(g)+CO(g)H2​(g)+CO2​(g)


A closed reaction vessel maintained at 300°C is filled with 0.255  M H2 and 0.260  M CO2. At equilibrium, their respective concentrations are 0.220  and 0.225  M. 

The following ratio represents:

[H2​][CO2​][H2​O][CO]​

 

Choose one or more

:the law of mass action.

the mass action expression.the equilibrium constant expression.

the equilibrium constant

.none of these.
