The compound 1,3-di-t-butylcyclohexane exists in two forms that are known as the chair and boat conformations because their molecular structures resemble those objects. Equilibrium exists between the two forms, represented by the equation chair boat At 580 K, 6.42% of the molecules are in the chair form. Calculate the equilibrium constant for the preceding reac- tion as written.

Consider the following equilibrium: 2NOCI (g) - 2NO (g) + Cl, (g) AG-41. kJ Now suppose a reaction vessel is filed with 4.69 atm of nitrosyl chloride (NOCI) and 4.34 atm of chlorine (CI,) at 641. "C. Answer the following questions about this system: rise Under these conditions, will the pressure of NOCI tend to rise or fall? O fall ? Is it possible to reverse this tendency by adding NO? In other words, if you said the pressure of NOCI will tend to rise, can that be changed to a tendency to fal by adding NO? Similarly, if you said the pressure of NOCI wil tend to fall, can that be changed to a tendency to rise by adding NO? O yes O no Ir you said the tendency can be reversed in the second question, calculate the minimum pressure of NO needed to reverse it. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
