(d) With H2O present in an amount greater than the stoichiometric
ratio, reaction (2) becomes important. However, reaction (1) for all
practical purposes still goes to completion, and may be considered
to provide the feed for reaction (2). On the basis of 1 mol CH4 and
2 mol H2O initially, what is left as feed for reaction (2) is: 1 mol
H2O, 1 mol CO, and 3 mol H2; n0 = 5. Thus, for reaction (2) at
equilibrium by Eq. (13.5):
