Making CO from CO2 is a potential energy source: CO2(g) + C(s) ---> 2CO(g) The value of Kp for the reaction is 1.50 at 700.0°C. Calculate the equilibrium partial pressure of CO if initially PCO2 = 1.37  atm and PCO = 4.85 atm. Pure graphite is present initially and when equilibrium is achieved. Calculate the equilibrium partial pressure of CO2.
