One of the reaction that takes place in producing steel from iron ore is the reduction 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 =0.265atm at 1050K. What

Correct answer: A. [ P _ CO ] = 1.739atmand P _ C O _ 2 = 0.461atm K _ P = 0.265 = (0.8 - x)/(1.4 + x) On solving, x=0.339 ∴ [ P _ CO ] = 1.739 atm and P _ C O _ 2 = 0.461atm

One of the reaction that takes place in producing steel from iron ore is the reduction of

\text{iron(II)}

oxide by carbon monoxide to give iron metal and

{\text{CO}_{2}.

\text{FeO}\left(\text{s}\right)\text{+}\text{CO}\left(\text{g}\right) ⇌ \text{Fe}\left(\text{s}\right)\text{+}{\text{CO}_{2} \left(\text{g}\right){\text{; K}_{P} \text{=}\text{0}\text{.265}\text{atm}

\text{1050}\text{K}\text{.}

What are the equilibrium partial pressures of

\text{CO}

and

C{O}_{2}

respectively at

\text{1050}\text{K}

if the initial partial pressures are:

{P}_{co} = 1.4

atm and

{P}_{C{O}_{2}} = 0.80atm

One of the reaction that takes place in producing steel from iron ore is the reduction of iron(II) oxide by carbon

Options

A $\left[{P}_{CO}\right] = 1.739atmand{P}_{C{O}_{2}} = 0.461atm$
B $\left[{P}_{CO}\right] = 17.39atmand{P}_{C{O}_{2}} = 0.461atm$
C $\left[{P}_{CO}\right] = 1.79atmand{P}_{C{O}_{2}} = 0.46atm$
D $\left[{P}_{CO}\right] = 2.739atmand{P}_{C{O}_{2}} = 1.461atm$

Correct answer

A. $\left[{P}_{CO}\right] = 1.739atmand{P}_{C{O}_{2}} = 0.461atm$

Step-by-step solution

{K}_{P} = 0.265 = \dfrac{0.8 - x}{1.4 + x}

On solving,

\text{x}\text{=}\text{0}\text{.339}

∴ \left[{P}_{CO}\right] = 1.739

atm and

{P}_{C{O}_{2}} = 0.461atm
