The Total solution for NCERT class 6-12
One of the reactions that takes place inproducing steel from iron ore is the reduction of iron (II) oxide by carbonmonoxide to give iron metal and CO2.
Forthe given reaction,
Since,the reaction will proceed in the backward direction.
Therefore, we can say that the pressure ofCO will increase while the pressure of CO2 will decrease.
Now, let the increase in pressure of CO =decrease in pressure of CO2 be p.
Then,we can write,
Therefore, equilibrium partial of
And, equilibrium partial pressure of
