Answer:

21 KJ/mol

Explanation:

For this question, we have to start with the <u>linear structure</u> of 2-methylbutane. With the linear structure, we can start to propose all the <u>Newman projections</u> keep it in mind that the point of view is between carbons 2 and 3 (see figure 1).

Additionally, we have several <u>energy values for each interaction</u> present in the Newman structures:

-) Methyl-methyl <em>gauche: 3.8 KJ/mol</em>

-) Methyl-H <em>eclipse: 6.0 KJ/mol</em>

-) Methyl-methyl <em>eclipse: 11.0 KJ/mol</em>

-) H-H <em>eclipse:</em> 4.0 KJ/mol

Now, we can calculate the energy for each molecule.

<u>Molecule A</u>

In this molecule, we have 2 Methyl-methyl <em>gauche </em>interactions only, so:

(3.8x2) = 7.6 KJ/mol

<u>Molecule B</u>

In this molecule, we have a Methyl-methyl <em>eclipse </em>interaction a Methyl-H <em>eclipse </em>interaction and an H-H <em>eclipse</em> interaction, so:

(11)+(6)+(4) = 21 KJ/mol

<u>Molecule C</u>

In this molecule, we have 1 Methyl-methyl <em>gauche </em>interaction only, so:

3.8 KJ/mol

<u>Molecule D</u>

In this molecule, we have three Methyl-H <em>eclipse </em>interaction, so:

(6*3) = 18 KJ/mol

<u>Molecule E</u>

In this molecule, we have 1 Methyl-methyl <em>gauche </em>interaction only, so:

3.8 KJ/mol

<u>Molecule F</u>

In this molecule, we have a Methyl-methyl <em>eclipse </em>interaction a Methyl-H <em>eclipse </em>interaction and an H-H <em>eclipse</em> interaction, so:

(11)+(6)+(4) = 21 KJ/mol

The structures with higher energies would be less stable. In this case, structures B and F with an energy value of 21 KJ/mol (see figure 2).

I hope it helps!

jekas [21]

Answer: when concentrations of acid and base are same, pH = pKa

PH = 12.38 pOH = 1.62

Explanation: pKa= -log(Ka)= 12.38. PH + pOH = 14.00
