Methane combines with steam to form hydrogen and carbon monoxide. $\text{CH}_4(g) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(g) \rightleftharpoons 3\text{H}_2(g) + \text{CO}(g)$ This reaction is reversible. The forward reaction absorbs heat. Which alterations in temperature and pressure would raise the equilibrium yield of carbon monoxide?
- Atemperature decrease, pressure decrease
- Btemperature decrease, pressure increase
- Ctemperature increase, pressure decrease
- Dtemperature increase, pressure increase
