Solved: At 1200 K, the approximate temperature of
Chapter 10, Problem 91AE(choose chapter or problem)
At 1200 K, the approximate temperature of automobile exhaust gases (Figure 15.15), Kp for the reaction
2 CO2(g) 2 CO(g) + O2(g)
is about 1 X 10-13 . Assuming that the exhaust gas (total pres- sure 1 atm) contains 0.2% CO, 12% CO2 , and 3% O2 by volume, is the system at equilibrium with respect to the CO2 reaction? Based on your conclusion, would the CO concentration in the exhaust be decreased or increased by a catalyst that speeds up the CO2 reaction?
