Question

When carbon monoxide reacts with hydrogen gas, methane and steam are formed.      CO (g)  +  H 2 (g)  =    CH 4 (g)     +   H 2O (g)

At 1127 0 C, analysis at equilibrium shows that the partial pressure of gases are:   CO = 0.921 atm, H 2 = 1. 21 atm,  CH 4 = 00391 atm  and  H 2O = 0.0124 atm.

What is equilibrium constant, Kc  for the reaction?
