Question

EXERCISES After the following reaction has reached equilibrium, all the carbon in CO is magically converted to the isotope carbon-14. Will the carbon-14 always be found only in the CO or will some be found in the CO2? Explain H20(g) +COG)H2(g)+ CO2(g) ? Consider this reaction: H2O + CO H2 + CO2 In one experiment 1.0 mole H20 and 1.0 mole CO are put into a flask and heated to 350 °C. In a second exper volume as the first and heated to 350 C. After equilibrium is reached in both cases, is there any difference in the composition of the mixtures in the two flasks? Explain. iment 1.0 mole H2 and 1.0 mole CO2 are put into another flask with the same

Explanation / Answer

Carbon-14 is the one of the isotope of carbon, it exist only about 1% of the total carbon and its half life is 5700 years. In this reaction CO contains C-14 Carbon, so the reaction proceeds through C-14 carbon which results 14CO2 product ie carbon -14 found in CO as well as CO2 at equilibrium
