Question
The first step in the industrial synthesis of hydrogen is the reaction of steam and methane to give water gas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. H2O(g)+CH4(g)⇌CO(g)+3H2(g)Kc=4.7 at 1400K. A mixture of reactants and product at 1400 K contains 0.035 MH2O,0.050MCH4,0.15MCO, and 0.20MH2. In which direction does the reaction proceed to reach equilibrium?

Solution
The correct option is A Forward reaction
According to given data,
Q=0.15×0.23/0.05×0.035=0.687<Kc.
So reaction should move forward to reach equilibrium.
