Consider the same reaction as in Exercise 12. In a particular experiment, 1.0 mole of H₂O(g) and 1.0 mole of CO(g) are put into a flask and heated to 3508C. In another experiment, 1.0 mole of H₂(g) and 1.0 mole of CO2(g) are put into a different flask with the same volume as the first. This mixture is also heated to 3508C. After equilibrium is reached, will there be any difference in the composition of the mixtures in the two flasks?

Exercise 12

Consider the following reaction:

Amounts of H₂O, CO, H₂, and CO₂ are put into a flask so that the composition corresponds to an equilibrium position. If the CO placed in the flask is labeled with radioactive 14C, will 14C be found only in CO molecules for an indefinite period of time? Why or why not?
