Calculate the partial pressure of carbon monoxide from the following CaCO 3 (s) → Δ CaO(s) + CO 2 ↑ ; K p = 8 × 10 − 2 C O 2 ( g ) + C ( s ) → 2 C O ( g ) ; K p = 2
Options
- A0.2
- B0.4
- C1.6
- D4
Correct answer
B. 0.4
Step-by-step solution
Given, CaCO 3 (s) → Δ CaO(s) + CO 2 (g) C(s) + CO 2 (g) → 2CO(g) K P 2 = [P CO ] 2 P CO 2 ; P CO = K P 1 × K P 2 P CO = 8 × 10 − 2 × 2 = 16 × 10 − 2
