(a) The expression for Kfor the reaction is:

Kp = (pCO) x (pH2) / (pCH4) x (pH2O)

(b) (i) By increasing the pressure, the number of moles per unit volume will increase. In order to decrease the same, the equilibrium gets shifted to the left or in the backward direction. As a result, more of react
