Two common industrial reactions that often happen in parallel are the methane reforming reaction: CHA + H2O –→ CÓ +3 H2 and the gas-shift reaction: СО + Н2О — СО2 + H? These two reactions happen in a reactor which is fed with methane, CH4, and steam, H2O, at a molar ratio of 1 to 1.9. Under the reactor's conditions, the fractional conversion of methane is 0.97 and the fractional yield of carbon monoxide, CO, is 0.85. Calculate the composition of the reactor's outlet stream on a dry basis.

URGENT!!! PLEASE ANSWER AS FAST AS POSSIBLE

Two common industrial reactions that often happen in parallel are the methane
reforming reaction:
CH4 + H2O
→ CÓ+3 H2
and the gas-shift reaction:
СО + Н20 — СО? + H2
These two reactions happen in a reactor which is fed with methane, CH4, and steam,
H2O, at a molar ratio of 1 to 1.9. Under the reactor's conditions, the fractional
conversion of methane is 0.97 and the fractional yield of carbon monoxide, CO, is
0.85. Calculate the composition of the reactor's outlet stream on a dry basis.
