Methane gas can be produced by the reaction of solid carbon with hydrogen gas as follows C(s) + 2 H2(g) ⇌ CH4(g) For this reaction at equilibrium, Kp = 0.38. A vessel containing carbon is sealed and injected inititally with hydrogen to a pressure of 2.0 atm and with methane to a pressure of 2.0 atm. What happens as the reaction proceeds toward equilibrium? Hint: this is a K vs Q question. Which way will the reaction proceed to reach equilibrium?
