One of the reactions that takes place in producing steel from iron ore is the reduction of iron (II) oxide by carbon monoxide to give iron metal and CO2. FeO(s)+CO(g)↔Fe(s)+CO2(g);Kp=0.265 at 1050 K. What are the equilibrium partial pressures of CO and CO2 at 1050 K if the initial partial pressures are: PCO = 1.4 atm and PCO2 = 0.80 atm?

Answer» One of the reactions that takes place in producing steel from iron ore is the reduction of iron (II) oxide by carbon monoxide to give iron metal and $C O_{2}$ . $F e O (s) + C O (g) \leftrightarrow F e (s) + C O_{2} (g); K_{p} = 0.265$ at 1050 K. What are the equilibrium partial pressures of CO and $C O_{2}$ at 1050 K if the initial partial pressures are: PCO = 1.4 atm and $P C O_{2}$ = 0.80 atm?
