Question

Given the following situation, what are the partial pressures of CO(g) and CO2(g)?

The equilibrium constant in terms of pressures for the reduction of tin(IV) oxide to tin at 25 °C is K, = 0.124, corresponding to the reaction
SnO2(s) + 2CO(g) = )
Sn(s) + 2CO2(g)
If the total pressure of an equilibrium system at 25 °C is 2.61 atm, calculate the partial pressures of CO(g) and CO2(g).
PCo = 14.83
atm
Pco2
5.22
atm
