One of the reactions that takes place in producing steel from iron ore is the reduction of iron
(II) oxide by carbon monoxide to give iron metal and C02
FeO(s) + CO(g) ———>Fe(s) + C02(g) ; Kp = 0.265 atm at 1050 K
What are the equilibrium partial pressures of CO and C02 at 1050 K if the initial pressures are: PCO = 1.4 atm and PCO2 = 0.80 atm?
Since Qp>Kp(0.265), this means that the reaction will move in the backward direction to attain the equilibrium. Therefore, partial pressure of C02 will decrease while that of CO will increase so that the equilibrium may be attained again. Let p atm be the decrease in the partial pressure of C02. Therefore, the partial pressure of CO will increase by the same magnitude i.e., p atm.
