Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The most stable chair conformation of the given molecule is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
The stability of chair conformation of the six member ring having heteroatom is the same as the cyclohexane ring. The presence of heteroatom in the ring is at any place which is similar to carbon.
The most stable chair confirmation of disubstituted cyclohexane is the one in which the substituents experience the least amount of strain. This is when the larger substituent occupies an equatorial position. In disubstituted cyclohexane, the substituents which are on the same side are cis to each other whereas substituents which are on the opposite side of the ring are trans to each other. If there is more than one substituent attached, the conformation in which maximum substituents are in equatorial position is favored and is more stable. Substituents that are trans to each other in one chair conformation remains trans after the chair flip.

However, the instrument output is shown in Table 2. Table 2. Iron emission from ICP-AES Sample Blank Standard Emission, cps 579.503252562 9308340.13122 Unknown Sample 343.232365741 Did the chemist make the correct choice in how they choose to display the data up in Table 1? Choose the best explanation from the choices below. No. Since the instrument calculates 12 digits for all values, they should all be kept and not truncated. Doing so would eliminate significant information. No. Since the instrument calculates 5 decimal places for the standard, all of the values should be limited to the same number. The other decimal places are not significant for the blank and unknown sample. Yes. The way Saman made the standards was limited by the 250-mL volumetric flask. This glassware can report values to 2 decimal places, and this establishes our number of significant figures. Yes. Instrumental data…arrow_forward
