Please answer the question highlighted in yellow.

Shown below are the reformer reactions for a Midrex operation:
W CHA
0.34 CO
0.39 CO₂
0.66 H₂
0.80 H₂O
Reformer Reactions:
Reformer
1.83 CO
3.66 H₂
0.39[CH4 + CO₂ → 2CO + 2H₂ AH = 59.1 kcal]
2
0.80[CH4 + H₂O ➜ CO + 3H₂ AH = 49.3 kcal]
→
Show the calculations on how 1.83 CO and 3.66 H₂ were obtained.
