Read the following statement carefully and then answer thequestions that follow.
The equilibrium constant (Kp) for the reaction of solid carbonwith carbon dioxide producing carbon monoxide at 850 ºC, has avalue of 0.70:
A. Write the reaction that takes place and the correspondinghalf-reactions.
B. Calculate the partial pressure of the equilibrium if youinitially have 1 mole of CO2, in a 30 L container and at atemperature of 850 ºC, in addition to solid carbon.
C. Calculate the partial pressures of the equilibrium if youinitially have 1 mole of CO2, under the same conditions as theprevious section, but in a container whose volume is half. D. Ifthe reaction is known to be endothermic, where will the system moveif the temperature increases to 1000 ºC?
E. Assuming that the carbon monoxide formed in the abovereaction is separated and a solution prepared by adding 1 L ofwater to said oxide; What is the final concentration in units ofnormality that would be obtained?
