Question

Hydrogen gas (a potential future fuel) can be formed by the reaction of methane with water according to the equation: In a particular reaction, 25.5 L of methane gas (at a pressure of 732 torr and a temperature of 25 C) mixes with 22.8 L of water vapor (at a pressure of 702 torr and a temperature of 125 C). The reaction produces 26.2 L of hydrogen gas at STP. What is the percent yield of the reaction?
