Detailed Solution

The equilibrium constant for the reaction; H2( g)+CO2( g)H2O(g)+CO(g) is 16 at 1000°C.

H2( g)+CO2( g)H2O(g)+CO(g)

1                1                   0                0      at t=0 sec

1-α       1-α                     α             α        at t=eq

K=H2O[CO]H2[CO2]

=α·α(1-α)(1-α)=16

=α2(1-α)2=16

=α1-α=4

α=4-4α.

5α=4

α=45 .

conc. of CO=α=45=0.8M.

Hence the correct option is (A) 0.8M
