EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS We will NOT be doing the laboratory portion of this experiment but we will use results that have been obtained previously Under acidic conditions menthone was allowed to isomerize to isomenthone and an equilibrium mixture established For purposes of our calculations we will consider the equilibirium to be written as isomenthone menthone with menthone considered to be on the product side The corresponding equilibrium constant K is given by K menthone isomenthone 1 or K Xm Xi 2 where Xm and Xi are the mole fractions of menthone and isomenthone    See Answer
