The question says that 20% of the steam has been converted, right? This means that at equilibrium, there would be 20% hydrogen present since the molar ratio of H2O and H2 is 2:2= 1:1. 10% oxygen will be present since the molar ratio of H2O and O2 is 2:1. And 100-20=80% of steam i.e H2O will be present since 20% has been converted into products. The total no of moles at equilibrium would be the sum of the moles of all these gases i.e 20%+80%+10%= 110% = 110/100= 1.1 So now you can express the partial pressure for each component as given in the answer. Partial pressure for H2O= \[\frac{ no. of moles of H2O }{total no. of moles } \times total pressure\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They have given the total pressure i.e 1 atm in the question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So your answer for H2O would be \[\frac{ 0.8 }{ 1.1 } \times 1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can do it in the same way for O2 and H2.

Lol Kainui

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its's so unfortunate >xD Your timing

OpenStudy (somy):

lmao i guess i have bad luck with u @Kainui

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We're sorry O_O Didn't mean to offend @Kainui

OpenStudy (somy):

hehe but well thnx guys!!! @emcrazy14 and @Kainui :)
