In the industrial synthesis of hydrogen, mixtures of CO and H2 are enriched in H2 by allowing the CO to react with steam. The chemical equation for this so called water-gas shift reaction is CO(g) + H2O(g) CO2(g) +H2(g) What is the value of Kp at 700K if the partial pressures in an equlibrium mixture at 700K are 1.31 atm of CO, 10.0 atm of H2O, 6.12 atm of CO2 and 20.3 atm of H2 ?
