NiO is to be reduced to nickel metal in an industrial process by use of the reaction

NiO(s) + CO(g) ⇌ Ni(s) + CO2(g)

At 1600 K, the equilibrium constant for the reaction is Kp = 6.0 × 102. If a CO pressure of 150 torr is to be employed in the furnace and total pressure never exceeds 760 torr, will reduction occur?
