NEETChemistryIonic Equilibrium
One of the reactions that takes place in producing steel from iron ore is the reductior of iron(II) oxide by carbon monoxide to give iron metal and ( CO 2 ). ( FeO ( s )+ CO (g) Fe ( s )+ CO 2(g) ; K_p=0.265 ~atm ) What are the equilibrium partial pressures of ( CO ) and ( CO 2 ) at (1050 ~K ) if the initial partial pressures are: (p C O=1.4 ~atm ) and (p C O 2=0.80 ~atm ) ?
Options
- A(p C O=0.56 ~atm , p C O 2=1.60 ~atm )
- B(p C O=1.60 ~atm , p C O 2=0.56 ~atm )
- C(p C O=0.40 ~atm , p C O 2=1.80 ~atm )
- D(p C O=1.80 ~atm , p C O 2=0.40 ~atm )
Correct answer
B. (p C O=1.60 ~atm , p C O 2=0.56 ~atm )
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (B) (p C O=1.60 ~atm , p C O 2=0.56 ~atm )
