In the industrial synthesis of hydrogen, mixtures of CO and `H_2` are enriched in `H_2` by allowing the `CO` to reacts with steam. The chemical equation for this so called water - gas shift reaction is
`CO_((g)) + H_2O_((g)) If at `200^@C, p_(CO_2) = 0.2 atm , p_(H_2) = 0.1 atm , p_(CO) = 2 atm, p_(H_2O) = 0.01 atm.` Calculate `K_c`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We first calculate value of `K_p`,
`K_p = (p_(CO_2). p_(H_2))/(p_(CO) . p_(H_2O)) = (0.2 xx 0.1)/(2 xx 0.01) = 1`
`implies Deltan_g = (1 + 1) - (1 + 1) = 0`
Hence `, K_p = K_c = 1`.
