Question:

(a) When solid NaHCO3 was placed in a rigid container of volume 2.50 L and heated to 160.°C, the equilibrium 2 NaHCO3(s) ⇌ Na2CO3(s) + CO2(g) + H2O(g) was reached. At equilibrium, some of the starting material remains and the total pressure in the container is 7.68 bar. What is the value of K? 

(b) The reaction is repeated, but this time the container initially contains not only the solid reactant but also CO2, with a partial pressure of 1.00 bar. What are the equilibrium concentrations of COand H2O for the new experiment?
