question 40

Multiple Choice

Cyclohexane (C₆H₁₂) undergoes a molecular rearrangement in the presence of AlCl₃ to form methylcyclopentane (MCP) according to the equation:
C₆H₁₂ ⇌ MCP
If K_c = 0.143 at 25°C for this reaction,predict the direction in which the system will shift if the initial concentrations of C₆H₁₂ and MCP are 0.0400 M and 0.0200 M,respectively.The system

• A)will shift left.
• B)will shift right.
• C)is already at equilibrium.
• D)is not at equilibrium and will remain in an unequilibrated state.
