The equilibrium constant for the gas-phase isomerization of borneol, C10H17OH, to isoborneol at 503 K is 0.106. A mixture consisting of 6.70 g of borneol and 12 .5 g of isoborneol in a container of volume 5.0 dm3 is heated to 503 K and allowed to come to equilibrium. Calculate the mole fractionsof the two substances at equilibrium.
