3. In a blast furnace, carbon monoxide (CO) is used to reduce ferric oxide (Fe,0,) to metallic iron, with carbon dioxide as a by-product. The equilibrium constant K, for the redox reaction is 19.9 at 1 000 K. If the equilibrium pressure of CO, is 2.4 atm, how much pressure is exerted by CO? Fe,O,(s) + 3CO(g) 2Fe(s) + 3CO,(g)
