Methane reacts with steam in an endothermic homogeneous reaction to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen:
CH4(g)+H2O(g)⇌CO(g)+3H2(g)ΔH=+206 kJ mol−1 \text{CH}_4(\text{g}) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{g}) \rightleftharpoons \text{CO}(\text{g}) + 3\text{H}_2(\text{g}) \quad \Delta H = +206\text{ kJ mol}^{-1} CH4(g)+H2O(g)⇌CO(g)+3H2(g)ΔH=+206 kJ mol−1Which change increases the equilibrium yield of hydrogen but has no effect on the value of the equilibrium constant KpK_{\text{p}}Kp?
Increase the temperature of the system
Decrease the total pressure of the system
Add a nickel catalyst to the system
Decrease the partial pressure of steam
