Given the reaction system in a closed container at equilibrium and at a temperature of 298 K:
2 answers:
Answer:
The measurable quantities of the gases at equilibrium must be constant
Explanation:
Measurable quantities for the gases at equilibrium includes rate of formation of , rate of formation of
, pressure of
and pressure of
.
At equilibrium, rate of forward reaction is equal to rate of reverse reaction.
Rate of forward reaction infers rate of formation of and rate of backward reaction infers rate of formation of
.
As rate of formations from both direction are equal therefore pressure of both gaseous species remains constant.

Explanation:
The reaction that we are considering here is quite a knotty reaction. It is difficult to decide if the mechanism is actually E1 or E2 since both are equally probable based on the mass of scientific evidence regarding this reaction. However, we can easily assume that the methylenecyclohexane was formed by an E1 mechanism.
Looking at the products, one could convincingly assert that the reaction leading to the formation of the two main products proceeds via an E1 mechanism with the formation of a carbocation intermediate as has been shown in mechanism attached to this answer. Possible rearrangement of the carbocation yields the 3-methylcyclohexene product.
