When the following gas reaction reaches equilibrium, at a certain temperature, the moles fractions four reactive species satisfy the following relation (we will use "y" for mole fractions since all of thes reagents and products are gases): CO+H20 CO2+H2 K= [yCO2][yH2] [yCo][YH20] Where K= 1. Assume that the feed introduced to the reactor is 2 mol of CO and 4 mol of H20 only. Al: assume that the reaction reaches equilibrium. a) Calculate the equilibrium composition, for this you need to calculate the mole fraction for all reactants and products. Answer: yCo2 = 2/9 yH2 yCo = 1/9 YH2O = 4/9| = 2/9
