    The document is a pre-lab planning form for an experiment on solid-catalyzed gas-phase kinetics involving the isomerization of 1-butene to cis- and trans-2-butene. The group plans to vary the flow rate of 1-butene from 20-40 mL/min and measure the ratio of product peaks using gas chromatography. They will repeat the experiment 3 times while collecting data to analyze the effect of changing flow rate on product distribution and ensure consistent results. The goal is to learn about olefin isomerization catalysis and gain experience with gas chromatography analysis.
