3657. WENDT, G. L., AND EVANS, G. M. Equilibrium Between Hydrogen-Carbon Monoxide and Methane-Carbon Dioxide in the Corona Discharge. Jour. Am. Chem. Soc., vol. 50, 1928, pp. 2610-2621; Chem. Abs., vol. 22, 1928, p. 4335. Gaseous phase in the reaction 2CC+2H2=CO2+CH4 reaches an equilibrium at a composition of 37.1% CO, 37.6% H2, 13.3% CO2, and 8.7% CH4, corresponding thermodynamically to 900°-950° K. Contraction continues, however, and the end products are C and H2O. |
