Consider the equilibrium reaction below. At 25°C, Kp = 2.26×104. a) Are reactants or products favored at 25°C? How do you know? b) Which way will the reaction shift (toward reactants or products?) to reach equilibrium if the reaction vessel (at 25°C) contains 0.10 atm CO, 0.70 atm H2, and 2.20 atm CH3OH? How do you know? c) What is one change you could make to shift the reaction toward products? Why/how does that change work?
