Answer : The 3 carbons which are bonded to $CH_{3}$ have equally stable staaggered conformers.

There are 3 identical atoms of hydrogens in 2-methylhexane molecule (refer attached figure)

Therefore any degree of rotation of 60 or 180 or 300 in C-C bond will give a stable conformer of the same energy.

In stereoisomers, there are two classifications: staggered and eclipsed conformations. The staggered conformation is when the bonds are not symmetric. Eclipsed is less stable than the staggered conformation. It actually depends on the compound. For example, the ethane is drawn in the staggered conformation, which only has 1 C-C single bond.

" There will be a net movement of oxygen from outside the cell to inside the cell " Statement is True.

Explanation:

The partial pressure for oxygen in alveoli is greater under normal circumstances, and oxygen moves neatly into the blood. In addition, the partial carbon dioxide pressure throughout the blood usually is higher, such that carbon dioxide migrate clearly into the alveoli.

The few common molecules which can traverse the cell membrane by absorption (or diffusion of a sort recognized as osmosis) are water, carbon dioxide and oxygen. Metabolism is typically oxygen-needed, which is lowest in the cell within the animal and plant, so that net oxygen flows to the cell.

The molar mass of an unknown gas was measured by an effusion experiment. It was found that it took 60 s for the gas to effuse, w

Answer:

The molar mass of the gas is 44 g/mol

Explanation:

It is possible to solve this problem using Graham's law that says: Rates of effusion are inversely dependent on the square of the mass of each gas. That is:

$\frac{r_1}{r_2} =\frac{\sqrt{M_2} }{\sqrt{M_1} }$
