In a chemical engineering process, water vapor (H_2O) is heated to sufficiently high temperatures that a significant portion of the water dissociates, or splits apart, to form oxygen (O_2) and hydrogen (H_2):

$$\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightleftarrows \mathrm{H}_{2}+\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}$$

If it is assumed that this is the only reaction involved, the mole fraction x of H_2O that dissociates can be represented by $K=\frac{x}{1-x} \sqrt{\frac{2 p_{t}}{2+x}}$ (P6.14.1) where K is the reaction’s equilibrium constant and p_t is the total pressure of the mixture. If p_t = 3 atm and K = 0.05, determine the value of x that satisfies Eq. (P6.14.1).
