Question
1. Methane and steam, both with an initial pressure of I atm, are sealed in a 1-litre vessel
at 1000K When equilibrium is attained, only 45% of the methane reacted. The equation for
the reaction is as follows
CH. (g) + H2O (g)
CO (g) + 3H2 (g) AH=+205 kJ mol
a) Calculate the equilibrium constants, Kp and K. for the reaction at 1000 K.
b) Predict the shift in equilibrium position when the temperature is lowered.
c) Explain the effect of lowering the temperature on the Kp value.
d) Will there be an increase in the yield of H2 (g) if the partial pressure of methane is
increased while volume and temperature are kept constant? Justify your answer
