Question: Consider the reaction C O 2 ( g ) + H 2 ( g ) h a r r C O ( g ) +

Consider the reaction CO2(g)+H2(g)harrCO(g)+H2O(g) at 1 bar and 900K, as well as the following data:
The partition functions of H2 and CO :
qrot(H2)=5.1397;qrot(CO)=323.90
The rotational constants of CO2(linear) and H2O :
B(CO2)=0.3902cm-1
A(H2O)=27.877cm-1;B(H2O)=14.512cm-1;C(H2O)=9.285cm-1
The difference in electronic energy:
Er=De(CO2)+De(H2)-De(CO)-De(H2O)=-29.89kJmol
a. Calculate the rotational contribution to the equilibrium constant Kc.
b. Compute the electronic contribution to the equilibrium constant Kc
please show the calculations and the results. maybe handwritten
