Chapter 12, Problem 104QRT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the conversion from cis-2-butene to trans-2-butene isomer is whether exothermic or endothermic reaction has to be given.

Concept Introduction:

The effect on $K_C$ of raising temperature:

For an endothermic reaction, the value of ${\text{K}}_{\text{C}}$ always will increases when increasing the temperature; at higher temperatures the reaction becomes more product-favoured for an endothermic reaction.

For an exothermic reaction, the value of ${\text{K}}_{\text{C}}$ always will decreases when increasing the temperature; at higher temperatures the reaction becomes less product-favoured for an exothermic reaction.
