Multistep Reactions

Postby William_Hora_2H » Mon Nov 29, 2021 3:23 pm

The following two-step reaction produces hydrogen:

Step 1: CH4 + H2O → CO + H2
Step 2: CO + H2O → CO2 + H2

Do we assume that the amount of CO produced in Step 1 is equal to the amount of CO (on the reactants side) in Step 2?

In each it looks like only one CO molecule would be used so yes the same amount should be on each side.

Hi William! The amount of CO should be the same on both sides.
