Consider the dissociation of CO2 given by
๐ถ๐2 โท ๐ถ๐ + 0.5๐2
As a function of temperature and pressure. Find the equilibrium
composition of the mixture, i.e. the mole fractions of CO2, CO, and
O2 that results from subjecting the originally pure CO2 to
temperatures of T = 1500, 2000, 2500, and 3000 K and pressures of p
= 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 atm, respectively. Synthesize your results and
show that they agree with La Chatelierโs Principle, i.e.
i) at fixed temperature, as pressure increases dissociation is
suppressed, while
ii) at fixed pressure, as temperature is increased, dissociation
is promoted.
