868. FALCKE, V., AND FISCHER, W. [Equilibrium Between Carbon Monoxide, Carbon and Carbon Dioxide. Reaction Between Ferrous Oxide and Carbon, and Between Carbon Monoxide and Iron.] Ztschr. Elektrochem., vol. 32, 1926, pp. 194-201; Chem. Abs., vol. 20, 1926, p. 3626. Numerous determinations of the equilibrium constant for the reaction C+CO2=2CO may be expressed log Kp=-(8351/T)+0.242 log T-5.65X104T+4.60X10-8T2-log T+9.504. The heat of the reaction (van’t Hoff equation) is 36,600 cal. at T=958. In the presence of excess free Fe the reaction is not CO2+Fe=CO+FeO. Fe3C is formed and hence in presence of Fe, not saturated with C, the equilibrium constants deviate from the above equation decidedly. FALLOT, M. See abs. 1279. |
