(choose chapter or problem)

NiO is to be reduced to nickel metal in an industrial process by use of the reaction

\(\mathrm{NiO}(s)+\mathrm{CO}(g) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Ni}(s)+\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)\)

At 1600 K, the equilibrium constant for the reaction is \(K_{p}=6.0 \times 10^{2}\). If a CO pressure of 150 torr is to be employed in the furnace and total pressure never exceeds 760 torr, will reduction occur?

Text Transcription:

NiO(s)+CO(g) \rightleftharpoons Ni(s)+CO_2(g)

K_p=6.0 \times 10^2
