MCQ
Steam reacts with iron at high temperature to give hydrogen gas and $Fe_3O_4 (s)$. The correct expression for the equilibrium constant is
  • A
    $\frac{{P_{{H_2}}^2}}{{P_{{H_2}O}^2}}$
  • $\frac{{{{({P_{{H_2}}})}^4}}}{{{{({P_{{H_2}O}})}^4}}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{{{({P_{{H_2}}})}^4}[F{e_3}{O_4}]}}{{{{({P_{{H_2}O}})}^4}[Fe]}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{[F{e_3}{O_4}]}}{{[Fe]}}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\frac{{{{({P_{{H_2}}})}^4}}}{{{{({P_{{H_2}O}})}^4}}}$
b
$3Fe(s) + 4{H_2}O\,(steam) \leftrightarrow F{e_3}{O_4}(s) + 4{H_2}(g)$

${K_P} = \frac{{{{({P_{{H_2}}})}^4}}}{{{{({P_{{H_2}O}})}^4}}}$ only gaseous products and reactants.
