Question

A small-scale reaction in the lab shows that methane can react with steam to form carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas at much lower temperature in the following reaction

CH₄(g) + 2H₂O(g) ßà CO₂(g) + 4H₂(g)

The initial concentrations are: [CH₄] = 0.30 M and [H₂O] = 0.40 M. At equilibrium the concentration for methane, CH₄ = 0.15 M. Calculate the value for the equilibrium constant K_eqfor this reaction. Set up as a RICE Table.
