Q. For the reaction, $C_{(s)}+CO_{2(g)} \rightarrow 2CO_{(g)},$ $K_p = 63$ atm at $1000\, K$. If at equilibrium $P_{CO} = 10\, P{co_2},$ than the total pressure of the gases at equilibrium is

KEAMKEAM 2011Equilibrium

Solution:

$K_p = \frac{p^2_{CO}}{P_{CO_2}}$ 63 = l00x or x = 0.63
Total equilibrium pressure = 6.3 + 0.63 = 6.93 atm
