Options

  1. A

    The reaction is exothermic

  2. B

    At equilibrium, the concentrations of CO2(g)\mathrm{CO}_{2(g)}CO2(g)​ and H2O(h)\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}_{(h)}H2​O(h)​ are not equal

  3. C

    The equilibrium constant for the reaction is given by Kp=[CO2][CH4][O2]\mathrm{K}_p=\frac{\left[\mathrm{CO}_2\right]}{\left[\mathrm{CH}_4\right]\left[\mathrm{O}_2\right]}Kp​=[CH4​][O2​][CO2​]​

  4. D

    Addition of CH4(g)\mathrm{CH}_{4(g)}CH4(g)​ or O2(g)\mathrm{O}_{2(g)}O2(g)​ at equilibrium will cause a shift to the right
