2. Nickel (II) oxide, NiO, is to be reduced to nickel metal in an industrial process by use of the reaction. NiO(s)+CO(g)Ni(s)+CO2(g) At 1600K, the equilibrium constant for the reaction is Kp=600. If the partial pressure of carbon monoxide, CO, is 150 torr and this pressure is applied in the furnace and total pressure never exceeds 760 torr, will reduction occur? (5 marks) Explain using Qp and Kp. Hint: Total Pressure = partial pressure CO+ partial pressure CO2 Recall that Kp=PartialpressuresofgaseousreactantsPartialpressuresofgaseousproducts
