question 102

Multiple Choice

The equilibrium constant,K_p,equals 3.40 for the isomerization reaction: cis-2-butene ⇌ trans-2-butene.
If a flask initially contains 0.250 atm of cis-2-butene and 0.205 atm of trans-2-butene,what is the equilibrium pressure of each gas?

• A)P(cis-2-butene)= 0.0603 atm and P(trans-2-butene)= 0.205 atm
• B)P(cis-2-butene)= 0.0431 atm and P(trans-2-butene)= 0.147 atm
• C)P(cis-2-butene)= 0.0735 atm and P(trans-2-butene)= 0.250 atm
• D)P(cis-2-butene)= 0.103 atm and P(trans-2-butene)= 0.352 atm
