Predict the effect of compression on the following equilibrium reaction:
`CH_4(g) + H_2O(g) hArr CO(g) +3H_2(g)`

Explanation

To predict the effect of compression on the equilibrium reaction:

**Reaction:**
\[ CH_4(g) + H_2O(g) \rightleftharpoons CO(g) + 3H_2(g) \]

**Step 1: Identify the number of moles of gas on each side of the equilibrium.**
- On the left side (reactants):
- 1 mole of \( CH_4(g) \)
