4. Trans fats are made by treating free-flowing oils with hydrogen, a catalyst, and high heat to change the structure of the oil. Although the hydrogenated oils are much more stable toward spoilage, a serious drawback to this process has been realized that the trans form of the fat poses serious health risks when compared to naturally occurring cis form of the oils. The part of the hydrogenated process that results in the formation of trans fat can be summarized as follows: cis fat_(aq) + H_2(aq) ⇌ trans fat_(aq) A typical value of equilibrium constant of this type of reaction is about 5.0. If we start with 0.1 mol/L each of _cis fat and H_2. Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of cis fat and trans fat, respectively.
