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

False

Explanation:

Water molecules are spread up but slightly, enough that none of the molecules actually move freely around each other. Only gas and plasma molecules are very spread apart.

Express in scientific notation. Make sure your answer has the same number of significant figures as the starting value. (6.0 x 1

I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The expression (6.0 x 104) (3.1 x 10-1) is equal to 1.9 x 10^4. We only have two significant figures from the starting expression that is why we rounded of the product from 1.86 to 1.9.

Answer:

Geothermal energy has a faster rate because a vast amount of heat energy is always present inside Earth's core.

Geothermal energy has a slower rate because the water present below Earth's surface cools down periodically
