Question: At a 1000 o C, K eq = 0.403 for the following reaction: FeO(s) + CO(g) Fe(s) + CO2(g) If CO (g) at 8.0 bar

At a 1000 oC, Keq = 0.403 for the following reaction:

FeO(s) + CO(g) Fe(s) + CO2(g)

If CO(g) at 8.0 bar is injected into a container at 1000 C that contains excess Fe(s), what will happen?

Question 14 options:

The reaction will proceed in favour of products until equilibrium is achieved.

The reaction will proceed in favour of reactants until equilibrium is achieved.

Since some products and some reactants have been provided, both the forward and the reverse reaction will proceed until equilibrium is achieved

Although it may take a while, eventually Fe(s) and CO(g) will react to produce some CO2(g), and then the system can proceed towards equilibrium as normal.

There can be no reaction at all, under the conditions provided.
