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. |

Cyclohexane derivatives exist primarily in the most stable of the available chair conformations. Give the position, axial or equatorial, of each of the three groups shown when the ring is in the most stable chair conformation. If a group divides its time equally between axial and equatorial positions, indicate this with ax/eq. The table of "Axial Strain Energies for Monosubstituted Cyclohexanes" found in the "Strain Energy Increments" section of the Reference tool is useful for answering this question.

Determine the structures of the molecules described in the following problems. Also note, in the combustion of N containing compounds, N2(g) is made. 4. Ornithine is decarboxylated to form putrescine and carbon dioxide. Draw the reaction and using bond energies, predict the enthalpy change for this reaction. 5. Ornithine decarboxylase (the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction in problem 1) is a target for ubiquitylation. In this process, ubiquitin (a small protein) is covalent linked to the target via an “isopeptide bond” between the side chain of lysine and the c-terminus carboxyl group of glycine. Water is released in this process. Predict the enthalpy change of this reaction using bond enthalpies. 6. Often we Hess’s law to determine enthalpies of reactions we are interested in using data from reactions we know. The heat of combustion of glycyl-glycine (dipeptide) is 1972 kJ/mol. The heat of combustion of glycine is -969kJ/mol. Is this enough information to determine the enthalpy…
