Answer:

Explanation has been given below

Explanation:

In diaxial conformation of cis-1,3-disubstituted cyclohexane, 4 gauche-butane interactions along with syn-diaxial interaction are present. Hence it readily gets converted to diequitorial conformation where no such gauche-butane interaction is present
In two possible conformations of trans-1,3-disubstituted cyclohexane, 2 gauche-butane interactions are present in each of them.
Hence cis-1,3-disubstituted cyclohexane exists almost exclusively in diequitorial form. But trans-1,3-disubstituted cyclohexane has no such option.

Trans-1,3-disubstituted cyclohexane experiences gauche butane interaction in each of the two conformations.
Therefore cis-1,3-disubstituted cyclohexane is more stable than trans conformation

What do helium (He), neon (Ne), and argon (Ar) have in common?

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The answer is: D

Explanation:

A. They have the same number of electron energy shells. Is false, all the elements are in different periods so, they have different number of lectron energy shells.

B. They are all Halogens. No, is wrong, halogens are F, Cl ,Br

C. They have the same number of electrons. is wrong, if they had the same number of electrons they must be they same element and they aren't the same.

D. They are all Noble gases. Yes, it's true they are noble gases, they are the first group in the periodic table from the right.

How many moles is 3.85 x 1025 atoms of gold?

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

64.17 Moles of Au

Explanation:

(atoms and particles are the same)

3.85 x 10 ^25 x (1 mol

/6.02 x 10^23)

3.85 / 6 = .64166

.6416 x 10^2 = 64.166

If you round up the answer you will get 64.17

64.17 moles of Au

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

OH−(aq), and H+(aq)

Explanation:

Redox reactions may occur in acidic or basic environments. Usually, if a reaction occurs in an acidic environment, hydrogen ions are shown as being part of the reaction system. For instance, in the reduction of the permanganate ion;

MnO4^-(aq) + 8H^+(aq) +5e-------> Mn^2+(aq) + 4H2O(l)

The appearance of hydrogen ion in the reaction equation implies that the process takes place under acidic reaction conditions.

For reactions that take place under basic conditions, the hydroxide ion is part of the reaction equation.

Hence hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion are included in redox reaction half equations depending on the conditions of the reaction whether acidic or basic.
