**Menthol Conformation Exploration**Menthol is a common additive to dental products, topical analgesics, decongestants, and many other everyday items. Below is the structure of menthol. Which is the most stable chair conformer of menthol?**Question:**Which is the most stable chair conformer of menthol?**Options:**A. aB. bC. cD. d**Diagram Explanation:**Below the text, there is a structural diagram of menthol, alongside four different chair conformers labeled A, B, C, and D.1. The first diagram shows the molecular structure of menthol with specific groups indicated: - A cyclohexane ring with substituents: a hydroxyl group (OH), two methyl groups (CH₃), and one isopropyl group (as a 3-carbon chain linked to one of the carbons of the cyclohexane ring).2. The subsequent diagrams (labeled A, B, C, D) display different chair conformations for menthol: - **A**: Menthol in chair form with specific orientations of CH₃ and OH. - **B**: Another chair form with a different spatial arrangement of substituents. - **C**: Yet another chair form displayed. - **D**: The final chair conformation illustrated.**Task:**Analyze the diagram and determine which among the given chair conformers (A, B, C, or D) represents the most stable configuration of menthol. Each conformer shows a different spatial configuration of the substituent groups attached to the cyclohexane ring.

8. Which of the following is the most stable staggered conformer? Me H OH Me Me OH Me OH Me H Conformer A OH HO H Conformer B OH H H Me Conformer C a. Conformer B because the anti OH groups avoid hydrogen bonding, which is a destabilizing effect. b. Conformer A because there are only two gauche interactions, and hydrogen bonding between the two OH groups is a stabilizing effect. c. Conformer C because there is no steric strain for Me-OH gauche interactions and hydrogen bonding between the two OH groups is a stabilizing effect. d. Conformer B because the large OH groups are anti to each other.

A 0.6113 g sample of Dow metal, containing aluminum, magnesium, and other metals, was dissolved and treated to prevent interferences by the other metals. The aluminum and magnesium were precipitated with 8-hydroxyquinoline. After filtering and drying, the mixture of Al(C9H6NO)3 and Mg(C9H6NO)2 was found to weight 7.8154 g. The mixture of dried precipitates was then ignited, converting the precipitate to a mixture of Al2O3 and MgO. The weight of this mixed solid was found to be 1.0022 g. Calculate the %w/w Al and %w/w Mg in the alloy.
