Answer:
Mole fraction of
= 0.58
Mole fraction of
= 0.42
Explanation:
Let the mass of
and
= x g
Molar mass of
= 33.035 g/mol
The formula for the calculation of moles is shown below:
Thus,
Molar mass of
= 46.07 g/mol
Thus,
So, according to definition of mole fraction:

Mole fraction of
= 1 - 0.58 = 0.42
[CO] = 1 mol / 2L = 0.5 M
[
According to the equation:
and by using the ICE table:
CO(g) + H2O(g) ↔ CO2(g) + H2(g)
initial 0.5 0.5 0 0
change -X -X +X +X
Equ (0.5-X) (0.5-X) X X
when Kc = X^2 * (0.5-X)^2
by substitution:
1.845 = X^2 * (0.5-X)^2 by solving for X
∴X = 0.26
∴ [CO2] = X = 0.26
