Consider the following chemical equilibrium, where all species are at the gaseous phase: CO+HO+CO2 + H2 at temperature T = 1200 K and pressure p = 3 bar. You can assume that no other chemical reactions happen in the system. Use the JANAF tables in order to answer the following questions: a. At the temperature T = 1200 K, in which direction is the reaction exothermic? From left to right, or from right to left? (5%) b. Show on your paper in detail how you can use the Gibbs-free energy data from the JANAF tables and the relation for the equilibrium constant Kp that we developed in class: AG° P(-4GD) RT Kp = exp in order to calculate the equilibrium constant of this reaction at T = 1200 K. No credit will be given unless you show a detailed calculation of AG. (10%) Assume that 2 kmol of CO and 1 kmol of H₂O are warmed up at 1200 K. How much CO₂ is produced? (10%). c. How would you expect the formation of CO2 to be affected if temperature increased? No detailed calculation is needed, just a solid argument supporting your answer. (3%) How about if the pressure increased?
