Problem

Steam is passed over hot carbon to attain the following equilibrium at 400 K. C(s)+H2O(g)⇌CO(g)+H2(g).\text{C}(\text{s}) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{g}) \rightleftharpoons \text{CO}(\text{g}) + \text{H}_2(\text{g}). The equilibrium constant K=1.34K = 1.34 (dimension less) and the total pressure of the equilibrium mixture is 200 kPa. What are the mole fractions of all substances in equilibrium mixture?
