The first step in the industrial synthesis of hydrogen is the reaction of steam and methane to give water gas, a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
`H_(2)O(g)+CH_(4)(g)hArrCO(g)+3H_(2)(g)`
`K_(c)=4.7` at 1400 K
A mixture of reactants and product at 1400 K contains 0.035 `M H_(2)O, 0.050 M CH_(4), 0.15 M CO`, and `0.20 M H_(2)`. In which direction does the reaction proceed to reach equilibrium ?
