Amixture of ch4 and h2o is passed over a nickel catalyst at 1000. k. the emerging gas is collected in a 5.00-l flask and is found to contain 8.32 g of co, 2.63 g of h2, 42.3 g of ch4, and 49.2 g of h2o. assuming that equilibrium has been reached, calculate kc and kp for the reaction.

                    
According to that Kc is an equilibrium constant in terms of molar concentrations.
and Kc = [C]^c *[D]^d / [A]^a * [B]^b >>>> (1)
in the general reaction:
aA + bB ↔ cC + dD 
and, from our balanced equation:
CH4 + H2O ⇔ Co + 3H2 >>> (2)
So, we need to calculate the concentrations (molarity) of the products and reactants:
the Molarity of CH4 = no. of moles/volume (L)
 and no. of moles = weigh / Molecular weight = 42.3 / 16 = 2.643 moles
so the molarity of CH4 = 2.643 / 5 = 0.528 molar
the molarity of H20 = (49.2 / 18) / 5 =  0.546 molar
the molarity of CO = (8.32/28) / 5 = 0.059 molar
the molarity of H2 = (2.63 / 2) / 5 = 0.263 molar 
By substitution in (1) according to (2);
∴ Kc = [0.059]*[0.263]^3 / ( [0.528]*[0.546]) = 3.7 * 10 ^-3  >>>> (3)
Kp = Kc (RT)^(Δn) >>> (4)
where R is the gas constant = 0.0821,
and Δn is the change in moles in gas= (3(H2) + 1 (CO) - (1 H2O + 1 CH4) = 2
by substition in (4):
∴ Kp = 3.7*10^-3 (0.0821* 1000)^2= 24.939

2positives of biotechnology: 1. plants have become more resistant to viruses and other communicable pests.2. with the of biotechnology, we have been able to produce better tasting fruits as well as vegetables.2 negatives of biotechnology: 1. biotechnology poses a number of environmental threats. genetically modifies crops often infect monarch butterflies and other insect species.2. viruses could combine with crops.
