Question #904a3

Answer 1

K = `1.5` x `10^2`

Explanation:

`CO(g)` + `2H_2 (g)` ⇌`CH_3OH(g)`
Kp = `2.26` x `10^4`

where K = `2.26` x `10^4` at `298` K.
If we were to divide the coefficients of above reaction equation by `2`, we would get the following equation:

`1/2 CO(g)` + `H_2 (g)` ⇌`1/2 CH_3OH(g)`

Now K =`[CH_3OH(g)]"^0.5`/[`CO(g)^0.5`]. [`H_2 (g)`]

threfore
K= √(kp)...........................square root of Kp
K = √ (`2.26` x `10^4`)
K = `150.33`
K = `1.5` x `10^2`
