Question

At 580 k, 6. 42% of the molecules are in the chair form. calculate the value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction as written above.

Answer 1

Equilibrium chemical reaction between chair and boat forms is:
Kc =
`([Boat form])/([Chair form])`
Suppose the total number of molecules is x
Number of molecules of chair form is 6.42/100 x
Number of molecules of boat form is 93.58/100 x
Kc =
`((0.9358x))/((0.0642x))` = 14.6
