Consider the following equilibrium: CO2(g) + H2(g)---CO(g) +H2O(g); Kc = 1.6 at 1260 K Suppose 0.038 mol CO2 and 0.022 mol H2are placed in a 1.50-L vessel at 1260 K. What is the equilibriumpartial pressure of CO(g)?

The answer is either 9.9 atm or 1.1 atm. But my question isWHY IS ONE CHOICE INCORRECT since I get both in mycalculations.
