Question: Problem Statement: Its is supposed that the carbon deposit C ( s ) is produced according to these following reactions: 2 CO ( g )

Problem Statement:
Its is supposed that the carbon deposit C(s) is produced according to these following reactions:
2CO(g)-> C(s)+ CO2(g).....(C)
CH4(g)-> C(s)+2H2(g).....(D)
Question 1- Determine the minimum S/C ratio (mol/mol) that can lead to carbon deposition from reaction C and/or D
Question 2- Determine which reaction from C or D that produces more carbon deposit, if any and if it happens
Assumptions:
a. Reaction A and B always reach equilibrium
b. The feed contains only methane and water vapor in gas phase
c. Operating condition: 36.5 bar and 810 C
Notes:
Attached is the equilibrium curve, I am able to retrieve all but one of the reactions (please help finding the last k value for reaction A)
For the second reaction, ln(k)=0.0842, k=1.08785
For the third reaction, ln(k)=2.2869, k=9.84437
For the fourth reaction, ln(k)=-3.0457, k=0.047563.
NOTES: If you cannot answer the question, at least please attach the equilibrium chart that shows the k value for the first reaction (steam reforming). Just that and I will give thumbs up
