Answer:

The answer to your question is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

CaO(s) + CH4(g) + 2H2O(g) <=> CaCO3(s) + 4H2(g)

1. Writing an expression for the equilibrium constant, K.

The equilibrium constant, K for a reaction is simply the ratio of the concentration of the products raised to their coefficient to the concentration of the reactants raised to their coefficient.

Thus, we can write the equilibrium constant, K for the reaction as follow:

CaO(s) + CH4(g) + 2H2O(g) <=> CaCO3(s) + 4H2(g)

K = [CaCO3] [H2]⁴ / [CaO] [CH4] [H2O]²

2. Based on the value of K, more products will be in the equilibrium mixture since the value of K is a positive large number.
