Chemistry

Hydrogen gas (a potential future fuel) can be formed by thereaction of methane with water according to the following equation:CH4(g)+H2O(g)→CO(g)+3H2(g)CH4(g)+H2O(g)→CO(g)+3H2(g) In aparticular reaction, 26.5 LL of methane gas (measured at a pressureof 736 torr and a temperature of 25 ∘C) is mixed with 22.6 L ofwater vapor (measured at a pressure of 702 torr and a temperatureof 125 ∘C). The reaction produces 26.2 L of hydrogen gas at STP.Part A What is the percent yield of the reaction?
