For the reaction, $\text{CH}_4(\text{g})+2\text{H}_2\text{S(g)}\rightleftharpoons\text{CS}_2\text{(g)}+4\text{H}_2(\text{g})$ at 1173K, the magnitude of the equilibrium constant, $K_c$​​​​​​​ is 3.6. For each of the following compositions, decide whether reaction mixture is at equilibrium. If it is not, decide in which direction the reaction should go?

1. $[\text{CH}_4]=1.07\text{M},[\text{H}_2\text{S}]=1.20\text{M},[\text{CS}_2]$

$=0.90\text{M},[\text{H}_2]=1.78\text{M}$

2. $[\text{CH}_4]=1.45\text{M},[\text{H}_2\text{S}]=1.29\text{M},[\text{CS}_2]$

$=1.25\text{M},[\text{H}_2]=1.75\text{M}$
