Using the data for AG for monosubstituted cyclohexanes at room temperature (25°C) and the representative value* for the gauche interaction of two
equatorially positioned substituents in the 1,2-position:

a) Calculate the difference in the Gibbs free energy between the second and first conformation including the algebraic sign.
kJ/mol
b) Given your value in (a), calculate the percent of the chair, indicated as B, presented in an equilibrium mixture of the conformers at 25°C.
*The actual value will depend on the substituents.
The values of the gas constant and the temperature for 25°C are 8.314 JK-'mol and 298 K respectively.
