+//(14.4) One kilomole of carbon monoxide reacts with the theoretical amount of air to form an equilibrium mixture of CO2, CO, O2, and N2 at 2500 K and 1 atm. Determine the equilibrium composition in terms of mole fractions, and compare with the result of Example 14.2.

+//solution
+
+//For a complete reaction of CO with the theoretical amount of air
+//CO + .5 O2 + 1.88N2 -----> CO2 + 1.88N2
+//Accordingly, the reaction of CO with the theoretical amount of air to form CO2, CO, O2, and N2 is
+//CO + .5O2 + 1.88N2 ---> zCO + z/2 O2 + (1-z)CO2 + 1.88N2
