At \( 450^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \), tert-butyl alcohol decomposes into water and isobutene. \[ \left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{3} \mathrm{COH}(\mathrm{g}) \rightleftharpoons\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{2} \mathrm{CCH}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g}) \] A reaction vessel contains these compounds at equilibrium. What will happen if the volume of the container is reduced by \( 50 \% \) at constant temperature? Multiple Choice The forward reaction will proceed in order to re-establish equilibrium. The reverse reaction will proceed in order to re-establish equilibrium. No change occurs. The equilibrium constant will increase.
