Cyclohexane (C₆H₁₂)undergoes a Molecular Rearrangement in the Presence of AlCl₃

question 82

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 mol L^-1 and 0.0200 mol L^-1,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
