The isomerization reaction and its equilibrium constant
At room temperature, the isomerization reaction and its equilibrium constant are given by
cis — 2 — butene it trans — 2 — butene Kp = 3.40 If a flask initially contains 3.00atm of each gas, in what direction will the system shift to reach equilibrium?
It will shift left. It will produce more of the trans form. O The system is not at equilibrium and will remain in an unequilibrated state. The system is already at equilibrium.
