Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the given equilibrium reaction, the favored side of equilibrium should be determined.

Concept introduction:

  • The compounds having two C=C π bonds are called dienes.

    Based on the proximity of C=C bonds in dienes, they are classified into three.

    • Cumulated dienes: the C=C bonds are located adjacent carbons.
    • Conjugated dienes: the C=C bonds are separated by one σ-bond.
    • Isolated dienes: the C=C bonds are separated by two or more σ-bonds.
  • The conjugated dienes are more stable as compare to isolated dienes because the delocalization of π bonds is taking place, so this forms some stabilization energy in conjugated system.
  • In an equilibrium reaction, the side of most stable compound is favored.

To determine: the favored side of equilibrium for the given equilibrium reaction.
