        To determine the value of K in the equation ([CO₂]X[H₂])/([CO]X[H₂O])=K, the value –0.4647 has been selected for the integration constant in the equation log K=-(2226/T)+1.077 log T-0.0₃898T+0.0₆133T²+C.  Values for K for each 100° interval from 1,100° abs. to 1,800° abs. are given.  The equation and curve presented represent the most reliable data at present available.  Previous equations were based on inaccurate specific-heat data.
