Dihydrogen gas is obtained from natural gas by partial oxidation with stream as per the following endothermic reaction.
`CH_(4)(g)+H_(2)O(g)hArrCO(g)+3H_(2)(g)`
a. Write an expression for `K_(p)` for the above reaction.
b. How will the values o `K_(p)` and composition of equilibrium mixture be affected by
(i) increasxing the pressure (ii) increasing the temperature (iii) using a catalyst?

Explanation

Increase of pressure the reaction proceeds in reverse direction because the no. of moles of gas increases in the forward direction.
Increase pressure `K_(p)` value increases.
