Question

Calculate Kp and Kc for the reaction

CO(g) + 2H₂(g) ⇌ CH₃OH(g)

When hydrogen gas is introduced in a 10 L flask at 300°C containing 0.2 mole of CO(g) and a catalyst until a pressure of 5 atm is attained and when equilibrium is reached 0.1 mole of CH₃OH(g) is formed.

Answer 1

Let the mole of hydrogen gas introduced be ‘a’ then the initial moles of reacting species in the system by 0.2 + a

The value of ‘a’ can be calculated by using equation

The number of moles of various species in the system at equilibrium can be represented as
