Question
If 2.76 g C and 33.64 g of water are
placed into a 0.91 L flask, calculate the
equilibrium concentrations of the
components using the x is small
approximation. C(s) + H2O(g) = CO(g)
+ H2(g) K = 6.03*10^-3 Perform a
check to see if the simplification was
valid. What is the percentage found?
(0.01) the correct answer is 5.42 but
not sure how to get there.
