                  In a gaseous system in equilibrium at all temperatures and pressures a relation exists between the concentrate of the various gaseous phases.  In the case of the system 2CO=CO2+C the final equilibrium does not depend on the initial state between 650° and 800°.  From an equation set up, the ratios of the concentrate of CO and CO2 at various temperatures may be calculated and agreement with experimental determinations may be seen:
