Consider the gas-phase isomerization reaction: AB. (a) Assuming ideal gases, develop from Eq. (14.28) the chemical-reaction equilibrium

Question:

Consider the gas-phase isomerization reaction: A→B.
(a) Assuming ideal gases, develop from Eq. (14.28) the chemical-reaction equilibrium equation for the system.
(b) The result of part (a) should suggest that there is one degree of freedom for the equilibrium state. Upon verifying that the phase rule indicates two degrees of freedom, explain the discrepancy.

Eq. (14.28)
