Chapter 7, Problem 7.9P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given equilibrium reaction, the ratio between more stable isomer to less stable isomer has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Standard reaction Gibbs energy and equilibrium constant:

The relationship between Gibbs energy and equilibrium constant is given by,

  $\begin{array}{l}{\text{Δ}}_{\text{r}}{\text{G}}^{\text{o}}\text{=}\text{-}\text{R}\text{T}\text{ln}\text{K}\\ \text{where,}\\ {\text{Δ}}_{\text{r}}{\text{G}}^{\text{o}}\text{-}\text{standard}\text{reaction}\text{Gibbs}\text{energy}\\ \text{R}\text{-}\text{gas}\text{constant}\\ \text{T}\text{-}\text{temperature}\text{and}\text{K}\text{-}\text{equilibrium}\text{constant}\end{array}$
