A gas mixture of methane and steam at atmospheric pressure and 600C is fed to a reactor, where the following reactions occur:

CH₄
+ H₂O ---> CO + 3 H₂
and CO + H₂O ----> CO₂
+ H₂

The product stream leaves the reactor at 900C. Its composition (mole fractions) is

yCO2 = 0.0275 yCO = 0.1725 yH2O = 0.1725 yH2 = 0.6275

Determine the quantity of heat added in kJ per mole of product gas.
