The following reaction increases the proportion of hydrogen gas in order to use it as fuel. CO(g) + H2O(g) ↔ H2(g) + CO2(g) This reaction has been studied at various temperatures in order to find the optimum conditions. At 700 K, the equilibrium constant is 8.3. Suppose you start with 1.0 mol of CO(g) and 1.0 mol of H2O(g) in a 2.5 L container. How much of each substance will be in the container when the gases are at equilibrium, at 700 K?

Question

The following reaction increases the proportion of hydrogen gas in order to use it as fuel.

CO(g) + H2O(g) ↔ H2(g) + CO2(g)

This reaction has been studied at various temperatures in order to find the optimum conditions. At 700 K, the equilibrium constant is 8.3. Suppose you start with 1.0 mol of CO(g) and 1.0 mol of H2O(g) in a 2.5 L container. How much of each substance will be in the container when the gases are at equilibrium, at 700 K?
