A quantity of 20 mole of carbon dioxide was heated to a


A quantity of .20 mole of carbon dioxide was heated to a certain temperature with an excess of graphite in a closed container until the following equilibrium was reached:

C(s) + CO2 (g) ----------> 2 CO (g)
<----------

Under these conditions, the average molar mass of the gases was 35g/mol.

a) Calculate the mole fractions of CO and CO2. (Hint: the average molar mass is the sum of the products of the mole fraction of each gas and its molar mass.)

Xco=_____________
Xco2=____________

b) What is the Kp if the total pressure is 15 atm?

Kp=______________
