6. Given the following methanation reaction at 1000 K.
CO(g) + 3 H2 (g) ⇒ CH4 (g) + H₂0 (g)
AH = -230 kJ; Kc = 190
a. Is the conversion of the synthesis gas to methane favored at higher or lower
temperature? Higher or lower pressure?
b. What will be the mole fraction of CH4 (g) at equilibrium at 1000 K assuming you
have 4.00 mol of synthesis gas with 1:3 mol ratio CO (g) to H2 (g) in a 15.0 L
reaction vessel..
