Question:

Carbon dioxide can react with graphite to form carbon monoxide, 

C(graphite) + CO2(g) = 2CO(g)

and the carbon monoxide formed can further react to form carbon and oxygen: 

2CO(g) = 2C(s) + O2(g)

Determine the equilibrium composition when pure carbon dioxide is passed over a hot carbon bed maintained at 1 bar and 

(a) 2000 K or 

(b) 1000 K.
