Textbook Question
Chapter 3.2, Problem 3P
Sketch a potential energy diagram for rotation around a carbon–carbon bond in propane.
Identify each potential energy maximum and minimum with a structural formula that shows the conformation of propane at that point. Does your diagram more closely resemble that of ethaneor of butane? Would you expect the activation energy for bond rotation in propane tobe morethan or less than that of ethane? Of butane?

Answer the following questions about this system: Under these conditions, will the pressure of N2O4 tend to rise or fall? Is it possible to reverse this tendency by adding NO2? In other words, if you said the pressure of N2O4 will tend to rise, can that be changed to a tendency to fall by adding NO2? Similarly, if you said the pressure of N2O4 will tend to fall, can that be changed to a tendency to '2' rise by adding NO2? If you said the tendency can be reversed in the second question, calculate the minimum pressure of NO 2 needed to reverse it.
