19no...the reduction does not occur,,,,even when you apply the greatest possible pressure , you get an equilibrium constant far less than the required one ! ,,,you can calculate that by using the partial pressure concept !
NiO is to be reduced to Ni in an industrial process by the use of the reaction
NiO(s) + CO(g) ----Ni(s) + CO2(g)
at 1600 K the equilibrium constant for the reaction is 600 . if CO pressure of 150mmHg is to be employed in the furnace and the total pressure never exceeds 760mmHg will the rduction occur????
a) yes b) no
