Practice 14.2: predict the equilibrium constant for the first reaction given the equilibrium constants for the second and third reactions: (ans: 1.4 x 102)
co2 (g) + 3 h2 (g)-> < -ch3oh (g) + h2o (g) k1 = ?
co (g) + h2o (g)-> < - co2 (g) + h2 (g) k2 = 1.0 x 105
co (g) + 2 h2 (g)-> < -ch3oh (g) k3 = 1.4 x 107
