The water-gas shift reaction plays a central role in the chemical methods for obtaining cleaner fuels from coal:CO(g) + H₂O(g) ⇄ CO₂(g) + H₂(g)At a given temperature, Kp = 2.7. If 0.13 mol of CO, 0.56 mol of H₂O, 0.62 mol of CO₂, and 0.43 mol of H₂ are put in a 2.0-L flask, in which direction does the reaction proceed?

Up until Q = K, the reaction will move in the opposite direction, increasing the concentrations of CO and H2O while decreasing those of CO2 and H2.

What is concentration of a reaction?

Up until Q = K, the reaction will move in the opposite direction, increasing the concentrations of CO and H2O while decreasing those of CO2 and H2.

The reaction will proceed to the left

Step 1: The balanced equation

CO(g) + H2O(g) ⇌ CO2(g) + H2(g)

Step 2: Data given

Kp = 2.7

Number of moles of CO = 0.13 mol

Number of moles of H2O given is  = 0.56 mol

Number of moles of CO2 = 0.62 mole

Number of moles of H2 = 0.61 mol

Volume = 2.0L

Step 3: Calculate Q

Pco = 0.13 / 1.92  P

Ph2o = 0.56 / 1.92 P

Pco2 = 0.62/1.92 P

Ph2 =0.61 / 1.92 P

Q =  [CO2][H2] / [CO][H2O] = 5.2

Q > Kp  The reaction will proceed to the left

Up until Q = K, the reaction will move in the opposite direction, increasing the concentrations of CO and H2O while decreasing those of CO2 and H2.
