Synthesis gas (a mixture of H2 and CO) can be produced by the catalytic reforming
of methane with steam. The reactions are:

Assume that equilibrium is attained for both reactions at 1 bar and 1300 K.

Estimate the molar ratio of hydrogen to carbon monoxide for a steam-to-methane mole ratio
in the feed of 2.
