Equilibrium Question 726
Question: The standard state Gibb’s free energy change for the isomerisation reaction $ cis-2-pentene\rightarrow trans-2-pentene $ is $ -3.67kJmo{l^{-1}} $ at 400 K. If more trans-2-pentene is added to the reaction vessel
Options:
A) more cis-2-pentene is formed
B) equilibrium shifts in the forward direction
C) equilibrium remains unaltered
D) more trans-2-pentene is produced
