Question:

A reaction used in the production of gaseous fuels from coal, which is mainly carbon, is C(s) + H2O(g) ⇌ CO(g) + H2(g).

(a) Evaluate K At 900 K, given that the standard Gibbs free energies of formation of CO(g) and H2O(g) at 900 K are 2191.28 kJ · mol–1and 2198.08 kJ · mol–1, respectively.

(b) A sample of graphite of mass 5.20 kg and 125 g of water were placed into a 10.0-L container and heated to 900 K. What are the equilibrium concentrations?
