Consider a gas mixture of CO₂ and H₂ that is equimolar is passed over a catalyst to form water and CO. Depending on the pressure of the reaction solid carbon can form as well. (a) Use Denbigh's Method to find a set of independent reactions. Only one reaction should have solid carbon (this will make it easier to answer the following questions). (b) Based on part a, develop expressions for number of moles of each species and composition as a function of the extent of reactions.
