FeO(s) + CO(g) (arrow back and forth) Fe(s) + CO2(g) Kp 0.403 at 1000°CThis step occurs in the 700° to 1200°C zone within a blast furnace. What are the equilibrium partial pressures of CO(g) and CO2(g) when 1.17 atm CO(g) and excess FeO(s) react in a sealed container at 1000°C?P_CO ______atmP_CO2 _______atm_ subscript
This page explains equilibrium constants expressed in terms of partial pressures of gases, Kp. It covers an explanation of the terms mole fraction and partial pressure, and looks at Kp for both homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions involving gases. www.chemguide .uk/physical/equi.
