Interpretation: The method to determine whether reactants or products are favored in an equilibrium mixture needs to be explained.
Concept introduction: For a reversible reaction, equilibrium is a state when both reactants and products have equal concentrations and it does not change with time.
An equilibrium reaction is represented as follows:
At equilibrium, the change in the concentration of A, B is same as change in concentration of AB. For example, if concentration of A and B decreases by x value, the concentration of AB will increase by x .

Explanation of Solution
An equilibrium reaction is represented as follows:
For the above reaction, the change in concentration of A and B is equal to that of AB.
For the above reaction, equilibrium constant can be represented as follows:
Here, K is equilibrium constant.
If the value of K is more than 1 then product is favored in the reaction but, if the value of K is less than 1 then reactant is favored in the reaction.
Thus, if the value of K for an equilibrium reaction is known, it can be determined whether it is product or reactant favored.

The singlet and doublet are referring to the H's 1 carbon away from the carbon attached to the OH. Why don't the H's two carbons away, the ones on the cyclohexane ring, cause more peaks on the signal?arrow_forward
