Kc = [CO] [H2]3 / [CH4] [H2O]. [ ] are the concentrations of each gas in moles/L
[CO] = 8.62 g / 28.0 g/mole / 5L = 0.0616 M
[H2] = 2.60 g /2.02g/mole / 5L = 0.257 M
[CH4] = 43.0 g / 16.0 g /mole / 5L = 0.538 M
[H2O] = 48.4 g / 18.0 g/mole / 5L = 0.538 M
Kc = 0.0616 x 0.2573 / 0.538 x 0.538 = 0.00361
Kp = Kc x (RT)Δn where Δn = moles gaseous products - moles gaseous reactants = 2 , R is gas constant 0.0821 L-atm/mole-deg, and T is absolute temperature 593 K.
Kp = 0.00361 x (0.0821 x 593)2 = 8.56
Please check math.
