Hydrogen is manufactured on an industrial scale by this sequence of reactions: CH4(g) + H2O(g) ⇆ CO(g) + 3H2(g)
CO(g)+ H2O(g) ⇆ CO(g) + H2(g)

The net reaction is:
CH4(g) + H2O(g) ⇆ CO(g) + 4H2(g)

Write an equation that gives the overall equilibrium constant K in terms of the equilibrium constants K1 and K2.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, for the given chemical reaction, it turns out firstly necessary to write the equilibrium expression for both reactions 1 and 2:

Now, when we combine them to get the overall expression, we infer these two are multiplied to get:

personal, she chose to do it.

when the volume of gas is   changed from   717.73 ml   to 852 ml   the temperature will   change   from 315   c to 452   c

    calculation

this is calculated using the charles law formula

that is,   v1/t1 = v2/t2

          v1=?

        t1 = 315 c   into   kelvin = 315 +273 = 588 k

        v2 = 852   ml

        t2 = 425c + 273 =698 k

make v1   the subject of the formula ( by   multiplying both side by t1)

  v1=( v2 xt1) / t2

v1= (852 ml   x 588 k)/ 698 k= 717.73 ml
