Dihydrogen
gas used in Haber’s process is produced by reacting methane
from natural gas with high temperature steam. The first stage of two
stage reaction involves the formation of CO and H2.
In second stage, CO formed in first stage is reacted with more steam
in water gas shift reaction,
If
a reaction vessel at 400°C is charged with an equimolar mixture
of CO and steam such that
4.0
bar, what will be the partial pressure of H2
at equilibrium? Kp=
10.1 at 400°C
