6. Frequently, the term “free rotation" is used to describe rotation about C-C single bonds. The barrier for rotation about the C-C bond of ethane is 3 kcal/mol. What is the rate constant, k [in units of rotations per second], for this process assuming that the Arrhenius pre-exponential factor, A, is 10, and T = 298 K? Show your work. i

Organic chemistry student Karen is tasked with synthesizing (S)-3-methylbutan-2-ol. Using her knowledge of alkene reactions, she runs a hydroboration/oxidation reaction on 2-methylbut-2-ene. Upon isolation, Karen runs an optical rotation experiment to determine the enantiopurity of her alcohol. Which of the following statements would be MOST correct regarding the optical rotation of her synthetic sample (Note: the specific rotation of (R)-3-methylbutan-2-ol is -40.4°). O [x] of the sample will be 0° O [x] of the sample will be -40.4° O [x] of the sample will be between 0° and -40.4° O [x] of the sample will be between 0° and +40.4° [x] of the sample will be +40.4°
