(a)
Interpretation:
The effect of increase in pressure of the given reactionresults in increase or decrease or remains same of number of moles of products has to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Le Chatelier's principle states that if a system in equilibrium gets disturbed due to modification of concentration, temperature, volume, and pressure, then it reset to counteract the effect of disturbance.
Effect of change in pressure:
- According to Le Chatelier's principle, increase in pressure leads to flow of reaction in direction where number of moles is less.
- According to Le Chatelier's principle, decrease in pressure leads to flow of reaction in direction where number of moles is more.
(b)

- After a mixture of cis-2-butene and trans-2-butene has reached equilibrium at 600 K, where Kc = 1.47, half of the cis-2-butcne is suddenly removed. Answer these questions: (a) Is the new mixture at equilibrium? Explain why or why not. (b) In the new mixture, which rate is faster, cis trans or trans cis? Or are both rates the same? (c) In an equilibrium mixture, which concentration is larger, cis-2-butenc or trans-2-butene?
