One method for the manufacture of synthesis gas depends on the vapor phase catalytic reaction of methane

Question:

One method for the manufacture of synthesis gas depends on the vapor phase catalytic reaction of methane with steam according to the equation CH₄ + H₂O ⇆ CO + H₂. The only other reaction which ordinarily occurs to an appreciable extent is the water-gas shift reaction. Gibbs energies and enthalpies for the problem are tabulated below in kJ/mol. CH4 HO CO CO AH , (600 K) -83.22 -244.72 -110.16 -393.80 , (1300 ) -91.71 -249.45 -113.85 -395.22 AG%, (600
