Please show work for each step

Consider the reaction of methane with water to create hydrogen fuel, CH_4(g) + H_20(g) CO(g) + 3H_2(g) A reaction is carried out such that the initial concentration of reactants are [CH4]=0.2275M and [H2O]=0.1295M, and the equilibrium concentration of [H2] is 0.2625M. Complete an ICE table. Use the information given to fill out the ICE table above. Each box must be completed. Determine the equilibrium concentration of each component of the reaction. Using the values from part b, determine a value for the equilibrium constant, K, for this reaction.

Explanation / Answer

CH4

H2O

CO 3H2

Initial Concentration (M)

0.2275

0.1295

0 0

Change in Conc. (M)

0.0875

Equilibrium Conc. (M)

0.14

0.042

0.0875 0.2625

K = [CO] [H2]3 / [CH4] [ H2O]

K = [0.0875] [0.2625]3 / [0.14] [ 0.042]

K= 0.2691

CH4

H2O
