One method of industrially manufacturing C O 2 involves the Haber - Bosch process. C H 4 + H 2 O C O + 3

One method of industrially manufacturing CO2 involves the Haber-Bosch process.
CH4+H2OCO+3H2 Step 1
N2+3H22NH3 Step 2
CO+H2OCO2+H2 Step 3
Ammonia (the product of Step 2) is widely used to produce fertiliser. Fertiliser production is
often stopped over the summer. Combined with the increase in demand for soft-drinks during
the hot summer last year, the halt in fertiliser production contributed to the CO2 shortage.
In Step 3 an initial mixture of 40mol of CO,20mol of H2, and 20mol of CO2 in contact with
40mol of steam was allowed to come to equilibrium in a reactor at 1100K. At 1100K this
reaction has a Kp of 0.64.
(d) Calculate the number of moles of each gas leaving the reactor after equilibration.
The standard enthalpies of formation of CO(g),CO2(g) and H2O(g) are -110.5,-393.5 and
-241.1kJmol-1 respectively.
(e) Calculate the enthalpy of reaction for the reaction between CO and steam to form CO2
and H2.
