Imagine that the staggered and eclipsed conformers of a small, saturated hydrocarbon are separated in energy by 1.5 kcal/mol. Given this information, what fraction of the molecules would be in the staggered conformation at any given instant? Assume that the sample is at thermal equilibrium at 25 °C, and enter your answer to the nearest hundredth. For example, if the fraction you determined was 1/2, you would enter 0.50 as your answer. Hint: the gas constant, R, equals 1.987 cal/K·mol and T in Kelvin equals the temperature in Celsius + 273; also, assume that all the molecules are either staggered or eclipsed. |

the axial–equatorial energy difference for methyl, ethyl, and isopropyl groups increases gradually: 7.6, 7.9, and 8.8 kJ>mol (1.8, 1.9, and 2.1 kcal>mol).

If exactly 3 moles of propanol (C3H8O) is combusted in the presence of excess oxygen (O2) for form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), how many moles of water will be produced? Enter the integer number of moles of H2O, do not enter the unit. Hint: Since this problem and two problems below rely on this reaction, make sure you balance this reaction very carefully on paper as your first step before doing any calculations. The reaction to be balanced is reaction between C3H8O(l) and O2(g) to produce CO2(g) and H2O(l).
