One of the reactions that takes place in producing steel from iron ore is the reductior of iron(II) oxide by carbon monoxide to give iron metal and \(\mathrm{CO} 2\).
\(\mathrm{FeO}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{CO}(g) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Fe}(\mathrm{s})+\mathrm{CO} 2(g) ; K_p=0.265 \mathrm{~atm}\)
What are the equilibrium partial pressures of \(\mathrm{CO}\) and \(\mathrm{CO} 2\) at \(1050 \mathrm{~K}\) if the initial partial pressures are: \(p C O=1.4 \mathrm{~atm}\) and \(p C O 2=0.80 \mathrm{~atm}\) ?

The correct answer is:
\(p C O=1.60 \mathrm{~atm}, p C O 2=0.56 \mathrm{~atm}\)
Correct Option is : (B)
\(p C O=1.60 \mathrm{~atm}, p C O 2=0.56 \mathrm{~atm}\)
\(p C O=1.60 \mathrm{~atm}, p C O 2=0.56 \mathrm{~atm}\)
