- Given that the free energy of the twist-boat conformer of cyclohexane is 5.3 kcal/mol greater than that of the chair conformer, calculate the percentage of twist-boat conformers present in a sample of cyclohexane at 25 °C.arrow_forwardShow that the addition of each CH2 unit to an alcohol molecule changes the heat of combustion by: 2(C-H)+1(C-C)+1.5(O=O) – [2(C=O)+2(O-H)]arrow_forwardGibbs free energy differences between axial-substituted and equatorial-substituted chair conformations of cyclohexane were given in Table 2.4. (a) Calculate the ratio of equatorial to axial tert-butylcyclohexane at 25C. (b) Explain why the conformational equilibria for methyl, ethyl, and isopropyl substituents are comparable but the conformational equilibrium for tert-butylcyclohexane lies considerably farther toward the equatorial conformation.arrow_forward
- 1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexachlorocyclohexane shows cis,trans isomerism. At one time, a crude mixture of these isomers was sold as an insecticide. The insecticidal properties of the mixture arise from one isomer, known as lindane, which is cis-1,2,4,5-trans- 3,6-hexachlorocyclohexane. Q.) Draw a structural formula for 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexachlorocyclohexane disregarding, for the moment, the existence of cis,trans isomerism. What is the molecular formula of this compound?arrow_forward1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexachlorocyclohexane shows cis,trans isomerism. At one time, a crude mixture of these isomers was sold as an insecticide.
