The equilibrium constant K_c for the reaction

has the value 2.64 × 10^-3 at 2300. K. If a mixture of 1.00 mol CO and 1.00 mol H₂O is allowed to come to equilibrium in a sealed, 1.00-L flask at 2300. K,

(a) Calculate the final concentrations of all four species: CO, H₂O, CO₂, and H₂.

(b) What would be the equilibrium concentrations if an additional 1.00 mol each of CO and H₂O were added to the flask?
