Question
The reaction,
is at equilibrium at 1300K in a 1 L flask. It also contains 0.30 mol of CO, 0.10 mol of H2 and 0.02 mol of H2O and an unknown amount of CH4 in the flask. Determine the concentration of CH4 in the mixture. The equilibrium constant, Kc, for the reaction at the given temperature is 3.90.
Solution
The given reversible reaction is
Applying the law of chemical equilibrium
Putting the values in expression (1), we have,
[Molar conc = No. of moles because volume of flask = 1L]
Applying the law of chemical equilibrium
Putting the values in expression (1), we have,
[Molar conc = No. of moles because volume of flask = 1L]
