follow.
29.A mixture of reactants and products in the equilibrium state is called an equilibrium mixture. let
us consider a general reversible reaction:
A+B⇌C+D
where A and B are the reactants, C and D are the products in the balanced chemical equation. On
the basis of experimental studies of many reversible reactions, the Norwegian chemists Cato
Maximillian Guldberg and Peter Waage pr oposed in 1864 that the concentrations in an equilibrium
mixture are related by the following equilibrium equation,

Write the balanced chemical equation corresponding to this expression.

the forward and reverse reactions in the equilibrium are elementary bimolecular reactions. What is
Kc for the reverse reaction?

30. Alkenes show both structural isomerism and geometrical isomerism. As in alkanes, ethene
(C2H4 ) and propene (C3H6) can have only one structure but alkenes higher than propene have
different structures
Doubly bonded carbon atoms have to satisfy the remaining two valences by joining with two atoms
or groups. If the two atoms or groups attached to each carbon atom are different, they can be
represented by YX C = C XY like structure. YX C = C XY can be represented in space in the
91
These are geometrical isomers (cis and trans)
Thus cis and trans isomers have the same structure but have different configuration (arrangement
of atoms or groups in space). Due to different arrangement of atoms or groups in space, these
isomers differ in their properties like melting point, boiling point, dipole moment, solubility etc.
