Question

A mixture of CH4 and H2O is passed over a nickel catalyst
at 1000 K. The emerging gas is collected in a 5.00-L flask
and is found to contain 8.62 g of CO, 2.60 g of H2, 43.0 g
of CH4, and 48.4 g of H2O. Assuming that equilibrium
has been reached, calculate Kc and Kp for the reaction
CH4(g) + H2O(g) ⇌ CO(g) + 3 H2(g).
