Problem

The hydrogenation of propane (C3H8\text{C}_3\text{H}_8) to form methane (CH4\text{CH}_4) proceeds by the reaction C3H8+2H2⇌3CH4\text{C}_3\text{H}_8 + 2\text{H}_2 \rightleftharpoons 3\text{CH}_4 Find the relationship among the chemical potentials and show that both the problem and the solution are formally identical to Example 1 on mechanical equilibrium.
