One route of using natural gas to generate hydrogen is called "steam reforming": CH4 (g) + 2 H₂O(g) = 4 H₂(g) + CO2 (g) in a closed container, initially there is CH4 at 0.200 atm, H₂O at 0.400 atm and no products present at 300. °C. Use a 1 atm reference state. a. What is the value of K at 300. °C b. What is the pressure of H2 at equilibrium?
