One mole \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g})\) and one mole \(\mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g})\) are taken in \(1 \mathrm{~L}\) flask and heated to \(725 \mathrm{~K}\). At equilibrium, \(40 \%\) (by mass) of water reacted with \(\mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g})\) as follows
\(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g})+\mathrm{CO}(\mathrm{g}) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{H}_2(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{CO}_2(\mathrm{~g})\)
Its \(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{c}}\) value is

  1. A 0.444

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 0.444

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Rightarrow\) Number of moles of \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\) reacting \(=40 \%\) of 1 mole \(=0.4\) moles \((\) degree of dissociation \(=\alpha)\) \(\Rightarrow 0.4\) moles of \(\mathrm{CO}\) and 0.4 moles of \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\) react. Let \(\mathrm{C}=\) initial…
