Answer:
Value of equilibrium constant is 0.0888
Explanation:
Both and
are gaseous. Hence equilibrium constant depends upon partial pressures of
and
.
Initially no and
were present.
Hence mole fraction of and
at equilibrium can be calculated from coefficient of
and
in balanced equation.
Mole fraction of = (number of moles of
)/(total number of moles of
and
) =
Mole fraction of = (number of moles of
)/(total number of moles of
and
) =
Let's assume both and
behaves ideally.
Therefore partial pressure of ,
and P_{CO_{2}}= x_{CO_{2}}.P_{total}
Where x represents mole fraction
So,
So,
