After performing the reaction from Problem 16.37, the reaction flask is heated to 40°C and two of the products become the major products. When the flask is then cooled to 0°C, 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.

According to the kinetic-molecular theory, what happens to a liquid when it is transferred from one container to another? the volume and the shape stay the same. the volume increases to fill the new container, but the shape stays the same. the volume stays the same, but the shape changes to fit the new container. the volume and the shape change to fill the new container.
