Chapter 5, Problem 58P
Given that the free energy of the twist-boat conformer of cyclohexane is 5.3kcal/mol greater than that of the chair conformer, calculate the percentage of twist-boat conformers present in a sample of cyclohexane at 25°C. Does your answer agree with the statement made in Section 3.13 about the relative number of molecules in these two conformations?

The table includes macrostates characterized by 4 energy levels (&) that are
equally spaced but with different degrees of occupation.
a) Calculate the energy of all the macrostates (in joules). See if they all have
the same energy and number of particles.
b) Calculate the macrostate that is most likely to exist. For this macrostate,
show that the population of the levels is consistent with the Boltzmann
distribution.
