Zinc metal is produced by the reaction of its oxide with


Zinc metal is produced by the reaction of its oxide with carbon monoxide at high temperature. The equlibrium constant for the equation

ZnO (s) + CO (g) <--------> Zn (s) + CO2 (g)

is Kp= 6.00 x 102 . At equilibrium the total pressure in the reaction vessel is 1.80 bar. Calculate Pco2 and Pco at equilibrium. Pressure should be in units of bar.
