The Group 3A metals have three valence electrons in their highest-energy orbitals (ns2p1). They have higher ionization energies than the Group 1A and 2A elements, and are ionized to form a 3+ charges. The Group 3A metals are silvery in appearance, and like all metals are good conductors of electricity.
Answer:
The second one is the answer
Based on Le Chatelier's principle, if a system at equilibrium is disturbed by changes in the temperature, pressure or concentration, then the equilibrium will shift in a direction to undo the effect of the induced change.
The given reaction is endothermic i.e, heat is supplied:
CH4(g) + H2O (g) + heat ↔ 3H2(g) + CO(g)
a) When the temperature is lowered, heat is being removed from the system. The reaction will move in a direction to produce more heat i.e. to the left.
Hence, the pressure of CH4 will increase and equilibrium will shift to the left
b) When the temperature is raised, heat is being added to the system. The reaction will move in a direction to consume the added heat i.e. to the right.
Hence, the pressure of CO will increase and equilibrium will shift to the right
