Steam is passed over hot carbon to attain equilibrium at 400K
C(s) + H2O(g)<====>CO(g) +H2(g)
The eq constant is K=1.34 and total pressure of eq mixture is 200kPa.What are mole fractions of all substances at equilibrium

is this the answer

mole fraction of..

CO is 0.0025
H2 is 0.0025

H20 is .995

dimensionless??

how can this be...

but solving above two eqns give answer or not ?
