Ethane gas and steam in equimolar amounts are taken in a container and sealed where the following equilibria were established. C2H6(g) + 2H₂O(g) = 2CO(g) +5H₂(g) CO(g) +2H₂(g)=CH3OH(g) At equilibrium, if partial pressure of H₂(g) and CH3OH(g) are 1 atm each and total pressure is 10 atm. Then the initial pressure of C2H6(g) in atmosphere is (A) 4 atm (B) 5 atm (C) 10 atm (D) 12 atm
