Methylcyclopentane (CH3C5H9) will isomerize to cyclohexane (C6H12) at 298 K and 1 bar. Calculate the equilibrium composition of this isomerization reaction. The table below might have useful information. State all assumptions clearly.
Apply definition of equilibrium constant to solve for K_298K:
Substitute to solve for K_298K:
We are well below the normal boiling point so assume we are in the liquid phase. These two compounds are isomers of each other, and both have ringed structures, so it is reasonable to assume that they form ideal liquid solutions:
