At a certain temperature, Keq = 10.5 for the equilibrium CO(gas) + 2H2(gas)>< CH3OH(gas)
Calculate concentration of CO in an equilibrium mixture containing 0.933 mol/L H2 and 1.32 mol/L CH3OH
The equilibrium expression for this reaction is:
Keq = [CH3OH]/([CO][H2]^2)
Rearranging this equation, we get:
[CO] = [CH3OH]/(Keq[H2]^2)
Substituting the given values, we get:
[CO] = (1.32 mol/L)/(10.5 mol/L^2 * (0.933 mol/L)^2)
[CO] = 0.0165 mol/L
Therefore, the concentration of CO in the equilibrium mixture is 0.0165 mol/L.
