The steam reforming reaction of methane follows this chemical equation: CHA(g) + H50(g) - CO(g) + 3 H2(g) A H° = +193 kJ/mol At 298 K the reaction lies far to the reactant side with a very small equilibrium constant of 2.35 × 10-23. To obtain a significant amount of the desired hydrogen gas product, the reaction is operated at very high temperatures. What is the equilibrium constant at 1100 K?
