Wet limestone is used to scrub SO2 gas from the exhaust gases of power plants. One possible reaction gives hydrated calcium sulfite:
CaCO3(s) + SO2(g) + ½ H2O(ℓ) ⇄ CaSO3 · ½ H2O(s) + CO2(g)
Another reaction gives hydrated calcium sulfate:
CaCO3(s) + SO2(g) + ½ H2O(ℓ) + ½ O2(g) ⇄ CaSO4 · ½H2O(s) + CO2(g)
(a) Which reaction is more product-favored at equilibrium? Use the data in the table below and any other information needed in Appendix L to calculate ΔrG° for each reaction at 25 °C.

- 2. Please consider the two all 'cis' isomers of trimethylcyclohexane drawn below. Draw the two chair conformers of each stereoisomer below (1 and 2) and calculate their torsional interaction energies in order to identify the lower energy conformer for each stereoisomer. Based on your calculations, state which of the two stereoisomers 1 and 2 is less stable and which is more stable.
