Textbook Question
Chapter 3.SE, Problem 52AP
Increased substitution around a bond leads to increased strain. Take the four substituted butanes listed below, for example. For each compound, sight along the C2-C3 bond and draw Newman projections of the most stable and least stable conformations. Use the data in Table 3-5 to assign strain-energy values to each conformation. Which of the eight conformations is most strained? Which is least strained?
(a) 2-Methylbutane
(b) 2,2-Dimethylbutane
(c) 2,3-Dimethylbutane
(d) 2,2,3-Trimethylbutane

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.
