Question

Part A

Determine the value of the equilibrium constant, K goal K_goal, for the reaction
C(s)+ 1 2 O 2 (g)+H 2 (g)⇌ 1 2 CH 3 OH(g)+ 1 2 CO(g) \rm C(s) + \frac {_1}{^2}O_2(g) + H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons \frac {_1}{^2}CH_3OH(g) + \frac {_1}{^2}CO(g), K goal =? ~~~~K_{\rm goal}=\,?
by making use of the following information:


1. CO 2 (g)+3H 2 (g)⇌CH 3 OH(g)+H 2 O(g) \rm CO_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons CH_3OH(g) + H_2O(g), K 1 = ~~~~~~{\it K}_1~= 1.40×10 2 1.40 \times 10^2
2. CO(g)+H 2 O(g)⇌CO 2 (g)+H 2 (g) \rm CO(g) + H_2O(g) \rightleftharpoons CO_2(g) +
