Detailed Solution

The equilibrium reaction is

H2(g)+CO2(g)H2O(g)+CO(g)

Initial(moles):    0.6     0.6       0    0

Change(moles):  -x      -x         +x   +x

Equilib(moles): 0.6 - x   0.6 -x  x   x    From equilibrium constant expression,

KC=H2OCOH2CO2=Conc.of productsConc.of products

4=x×x(0.6-x)(0.6-x)

(2)2=x(0.6-x)2

Apply square root on both sides to the above equation.

21×x(0.6-x)

x=1.2-2x

x=0.4

Therefore, concentration of H2O(g) is

Molarity of H2O(g)=nV

Molarity of H2O(g)=0.4 moleIL=0.4M
