CO2(g) +H2(g) ⇆ H2O (g) + CO (g)
a. If only carbon dioxide gas and hydrogen gas present initially, sketch on a
graph a line representing forward reaction (mark as FR) and one other line for
reverse reaction (mark as RR) [3]

b. Explain the shape of each line [3]

c. Kc for the equilibrium reaction is determined at two different temperatures, at
8500C Kc = 1.1 whereas at 17000C Kc = 4.9. On the basis of these Kc values
explain whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic [3]
