Question

4. Consider the following reaction: CO(g)+2H2(g) CH,OH(g) A reaction mixture at 780°C initially contains [CO] 1.00M, [Hal-2.00M and [CH3OH-0.00M. At equilibrium, the CO concentration is found to be 0.50M. What is the equilibrium constant for the reaction? (a) 26 (b) 0.385 (c) 4.00 (d) 0.278 (e) 1.00 this table might help Co H2l CH3OH

Answer #1

ICE Table:

[CO] [H2] [CH3OH]

initial 1.0 2.0 0

change -1x -2x +1x

equilibrium 1.0-1x 2.0-2x +1x

Given at equilibrium,

[CH3OH] = 0.5

+1x = 0.5

x = 0.5

Equilibrium constant expression is

Kc = [CH3OH]/[CO][H2]^2

Kc = (+1x)/(1.0-1x)(2.0-2x)^2

Kc = (+1*0.5)/(1.0-1*0.5)(2.0-2*0.5)^2

Kc = 1.0

Answer: e
