Problem

A system containing 0.02 Kg of CO and 0.02 Kg of O2\text{O}_2 is maintained at a temperature of 3200 K and a pressure of 0.2 MPa. At this temperature the equilibrium constant for the reaction 2CO2⇌2CO+O22\text{CO}_2 \rightleftharpoons 2\text{CO} + \text{O}_2 is K=.0424K = .0424 MPa. What is the mass of CO2\text{CO}_2 at equilibrium?
