Answer: You know that monomers that are joined by condensation polymerization have two functional groups. You also know (from Part 6) that a carboxylic acid and an amine can form an amide linkage, jand a carboxylic acid and an alcohol can form an ester linkage.
[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
