After performing the reaction from .38, the reaction flask
Chapter 17, Problem 17.39(choose chapter or problem)
After performing the reaction from 17.38, the reaction flask is heated to 40C and two of the products become the major products. When the flask is then cooled to 0C, no change occurs in the product distribution. Explain why an increase in temperature causes a change in the product distribution and explain why a subsequent reduction in temperature has no effect

ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
This problem asks us a question regarding equilibrium. It tells us that if an HBr addition reaction vs 2-ethyl-3-methyl-1,3-cyclohexadiene is heated to 40°C, that two of the products become the major products. When the flask is then cooled to 0°C , there's no change in the product distribution.
