When isopropylidenecyclohexane is treated with strong acid at room
temperature, isomerization occurs by the mechanism shown below to yield 1-isopropylcyclohexene:

At equilibrium, the product mixture contains about 30% isopropylidene- cyclohexane and about 70% 1-isopropylcyclohexene.
(a)What is an approximate value of Keq for the reaction?
(b)Since the reaction occurs slowly at room temperature, what is its approximateG‡?
(c)Draw an energy diagram for the reaction.
