Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction using the balanced chemical equation and the concentrations of the substances at equilibrium.

Use the

appropriate significant figures in reporting the answers.

CO(g) + H2O(g) ⇌ CO2(g) + H2(g) [CO] = 0.0590 M; [H2O] = 0.00600 M;

[CO2] = 0.0410 M; [H2] = 0.0410 M

Answer:

4.75 is the equilibrium constant for the reaction.

Explanation:

[tex]CO(g)+H_2O(g)\rightleftharpoons CO_2(g)+H_2(g)[/tex]

Equilibrium concentration of reactants :

[tex][CO]=0.0590 M,[H_2O]=0.00600 M[/tex]

Equilibrium concentration of products:

[tex][CO_2]=0.0410 M,[H_2]=0.0410 M[/tex]

The expression of an equilibrium constant is given by :

[tex]K_c=\frac{[CO_2][H_2]}{[CO][H_2O]}[/tex]

[tex]K_c=\frac{0.0410 M\times 0.0410 M}{0.0590M\times 0.00600 M}[/tex]

[tex]K_c=4.75 [/tex]

4.75 is the equilibrium constant for the reaction.
