Problem 46P
A key step in the extraction of iron from its ore is
FeO(s) + CO(g) ⇌ Fe(s) + CO2(g)Kp= 0.403 at 1000°C
This step occurs in the 700°C to 1200°C zone within a blast furnace. What are the equilibrium partial pressures of CO(g) and CO2(g) when 1.00 atm of CO(g) and excess FeO(s) react in a sealed container at 1000°C?

ANSWER:
Solution 46P:
Here, we are going to calculate the equilibrium partial pressure of CO and CO2 for the reaction.
Step 1: Calculation of the equilibrium pressure of the reactant and products.
Given reaction,
FeO(s) + CO(g) ⇌ Fe(s) + CO2(g) Kp= 0.403
Initially,
Hence, the reaction table for the reaction is given below:
