The equilibrium constant for this reaction at 1400k is 47 a


The first step in the industrial synthesis of hydrogen is the reaction of steam and methane to give a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gases, as shown by the reaction H2O(g) + CH4(g) (two arrows pointing out in opposite directions) CO(g) + 3H2 (g) The equilibrium constant for this reaction at 1400K is 4.7. A mixture of reactants and products at 1400K contains 0.035 M H2O, 0.050 M CH4, 0.15 M CO, and 0.20 M H2. a. Is this reaction at equilibrium? b. If it is not, in which direction will the reaction proceed to reach equilibrium? Why will it occur in this direction? c. In approaching equilibrium, will the concentration of CH4 increase or decrease?
