Answer:
The reaction will proceed to the right (favoring the products).
Explanation:
Let's consider the following isomerization reaction.
cis-2-butene ⇌ trans-2-butene
To predict in what direction will shift to reach equilibrium, we have to calculate the reaction quotient (Qp).
Since Qp (1.00) < Kp (3.40), the reaction will proceed to the right, so that the pressure of the product increases, the pressure of the reactant decreases, and Qp reaches the value of Kp.

The conversion of 2 - butanol to 2 - nitrobutane involves conversion of 2 butanol to 2 - bromobutane and subsequently to 2 - nitrobutane.
In order to convert 2 - butanol to 2 - nitrobutane, an SN2 reaction is first carried out in which 2 - butanol is converted to 2 - bromobutane. This reaction proceeds with inversion of configuration at the chiral carbon as expected.
This product is subsequently reacted with silver nitrite in ethanol to yield 2 - nitrobutane along side silver bromide. Some alkyl nitrite is also produced as a by product. The components of the mixture are separated by fractional distillation. The scheme of the reaction is shown in the image attached to this answer. This reaction is only applied to primary and secondary alkyl halides.
