Explanation of Solution

The required reaction is given below.

  CO(g)+H2O(g)CO2(g)+H2(g)

Given that, 1.00molH2Oand1.00molCO are placed in a reaction vessel of volume 10.00L.  Their concentrations can be calculated as given below.

  [CO]=molesvolume=1mol10.00L=0.1M[H2O]=molesvolume=1mol10.00L=0.1M

An equilibrium table can be set up as given below.

  Composition(M)COH2OCO2H2Initialconcentration0.10.100Changeinconcentrationxx+x+xEquilibriumconcentration0.1x0.1xxx

It is given that, at equilibrium the number of moles of carbon dioxide gas is 0.665mol.  Its concentration is given below.

  Atequilibrium[CO2]=molesvolume=0.665mol10.00L=0.0665MSo,x=0.0665M[CO]=0.1x=0.0335M[H2O]=0.1x=0.0335M[CO2]=x=0.0665M[H2]=x=0.0665M

Therefore, the equilibrium concentrations of CO,H2O,CO2,andH2 are 0.0335M,0.0335M,0.0665M,and0.0665M respectively.

Explanation of Solution

The required reaction is given below.

  CO(g)+H2O(g)CO2(g)+H2(g)

The expression for equilibrium constant for the above reaction can be written as shown below,

  Kc=[CO2][H2][CO][H2O]

Given that, 1.00molH2Oand1.00molCO are placed in a reaction vessel of volume 10.00L.  Their concentrations can be calculated as given below.

  [CO]=molesvolume=1mol10.00L=0.1M[H2O]=molesvolume=1mol10.00L=0.1M

An equilibrium table can be set up as given below.

  Composition(M)COH2OCO2H2Initialconcentration0.10.100Changeinconcentrationxx+x+xEquilibriumconcentration0.1x0.1xxx

Now, these values in the fourth row can be inserted in the equilibrium constant expression as shown below.

  Kc=(x)(x)(0.1x)(0.1x)

It is given that, at equilibrium the number of moles of carbon dioxide gas is 0.665mol.  Its concentration is given below.

  Atequilibrium[CO2]=molesvolume=0.665mol10.00L=0.0665MSo,x=0.0665M

By plugging all data in the equilibrium constant expression, the value of Kc can be obtained.

  Kc=(x)(x)(0.1x)(0.1x)=(0.0665)2(0.10.0665)2Kc=3.94

Therefore, the value of Kc for the reaction CO(g)+H2O(g)CO2(g)+H2(g) is 3.94.
