The water-gas shift reaction is ?Processes based on this reaction have been studied as a means of providing H₂ as an automotive fuel. Assume that 1 mole of CO reacts with one mole of H₂O at1800 K and 1 atm. Determine the equilibrium composition. Will lowering the temperature increase or decrease the yield of H₂? Neglect species other than CO, H₂O, CO₂ , H₂. Values of K = K( - T) for the water-gas shift reaction are

What effect does an increase in CO have on the H_2?yield at 1800 K?
