Given, 3H2 + CO = CH4 + H2O, KP = 101.84 and, 4H2 + CO2 = CH4 + 2H2O, KP = 101.17 the KP for the reaction CO + H2O = CO2 + H2 is __________________?
Correct answer: A. 100.67
- A. 100.67
- B. 10-0.67
- C. 10-3.01
- D. 103.01
Explanation
Subtracting the second reaction from the first gives CO + H₂O → CO₂ + H₂, so the equilibrium constants divide: K_P = 10^1.84/10^1.17 = 10^0.67.
