Here, the substituted groups in the chair conformation are represented as follows:

  Custom eBook for Organic Chemistry, Chapter 7, Problem 18CTQ , additional homework tip  3

The groups showing in straight upward and downward directions are axial and the groups bend slightly right or left are equatorial.

The axial and equatorial groups are represented in the chair conformation as A and E:

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The given structure on the right needs to be completed which is obtained by chair flip.

  Custom eBook for Organic Chemistry, Chapter 7, Problem 18CTQ , additional homework tip  5

Concept Introduction:After a chair flip, all the axial bonds become equatorial and all the equatorial bonds become axial. But, the groups in the up direction remains upward and groups in down direction remain downward.

Also, if the molecule is cis, it remains cis even after chair flip. The same is the case with trans molecule.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The name of the structure formed after the chair flip in part (b) needs to be determined.

I have a excitation/emission spectra of a quinine standard solution here, and I'm having trouble interpreting it. the red line is emission the blue line is excitation. i'm having trouble interpreting properly. just want to know if there is any evidence of raman or rayleigh peaks in the spectra.
Give the major product of the following reaction. excess 1. OH, H₂O 1.OH H CH3CH2CH21 H 2. A.-H₂O Draw the molecule on the canvas by choosing buttons from the Tools (for bonds), Atoms, and Advanced Template toolbars. The single bond is active by default.
2. Use Hess's law to calculate the AH (in kJ) for: rxn CIF(g) + F2(g) → CIF 3 (1) using the following information: 2CIF(g) + O2(g) → Cl₂O(g) + OF 2(g) AH = 167.5 kJ ΔΗ 2F2 (g) + O2(g) → 2 OF 2(g) 2C1F3 (1) + 202(g) → Cl₂O(g) + 3 OF 2(g) о = = -43.5 kJ AH = 394.1kJ
