**Equilibrium and Reaction Analysis**

**a. Equilibrium Constant Calculation:**

Calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction:
\[ 2 \text{CO (g)} + 6 \text{H}_2 \text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2 \text{CH}_4 \text{(g)} + 2 \text{H}_2\text{O (g)} \]

**b. Reaction Intermediates Identification:**

Identify the molecules in the steps that are reaction intermediates.

**c. Reaction Direction Determination:**

If 0.500 atm of CO, H\(_2\), CH\(_4\), and H\(_2\)O are initially placed in the same container, then based on your answer in part a, determine which direction the reaction will shift to establish equilibrium.

**Chemical Reaction Equilibria**

Consider the following reactions:

1. CO (g) + 2 H₂S (g) ⇌ CS₂ (g) + H₂O (g) + H₂ (g) 
   - Equilibrium constant (K₁) = 1.3 x 10⁵

2. ½ CH₄ (g) + H₂S (g) ⇌ ½ CS₂ (g) + 2 H₂ (g)
   - Equilibrium constant (K₂) = 180

**Explanation:**

Both reactions involve gaseous reactants and products, with equilibrium constants provided for each. These constants indicate the position of equilibrium, with larger values suggesting the reaction favors the production of products.
