Gaseous CH4 and H2O were mixed in a 0.064 L flask at 1800 K. At a certain time, the flask contains 0.36 mol of CO, 0.081 mol of H2, 0.051 mol of CH4 and 0.91 mol of H2O. The Keq for the reaction is 0.30. Find the reaction quotient. Is the system in equilibrium? If not , what must occur for equilibrium to be established? CH4 + H2O ⇄CO+3H2
