Given that the free energy of the twist-boat conformer of cyclohexane is 5.3 kcal/mol greater than that of the chair conformer,

calculate the percentage of twist-boat conformers present in a sample of cyclohexane at 25 °C. Does your answer agree with the statement made about the relative number of molecules in these two conformations?

Answer:

0.013%

Yes, it does. The answer agrees with the statement.

Explanation:

Both conformers are in equilibrium, and it can be represented by the equilibrium equation K:

K = [twist-boat]/[chair]

The free energy between them can be calculated by:

ΔG° = -RTlnK

Where R is the gas constant (8.314 J/mol.K), and T is the temperature (25°C + 273 = 298 K).

ΔG° = 5.3 kcal/mol * 4.182 kJ/kcal = 22.165 kJ/mol = 22165 J/mol

22165 = -8.314*298*lnK

-2477.572lnK = 22165

lnK = -8.946

K = e^{-8.946}

K = 1.30x10⁻⁴

[twist-boat]/[chair] = 1.30x10⁻⁴

[twist-boat] = 1.30x10⁻⁴[chair]

The percentage of the twist-boat conformer is:

[twist-boat]/([twist-boat] + [chair]) * 100%

1.30x10⁻⁴[chair]/(1.30x10⁻⁴[chair] + [chair]) *100%

0.013%

The statement about the conformers is that the chair conformer is more stable, and because of that is more present. So, the answer agrees with it.

- How many moles of S2 are needed to produce 1.50 moles of SO2 gas? S2 + 20, ----> 2802​
matrenka [14]

Answer:

0.75 moles

Explanation:

S2 + 2O2 = 2SO2

From the reaction above,

We see that number of moles attached to S2 is 1 and number of moles attached to SO2 is 2.

Since we want to find how many moles of S2 are needed to produce 1.50 moles of SO2 gas

The answer is gotten by proportion;

Number of moles = 1/2 × 1.5 = 0.75 moles

How could you engineer a device that produces beneficial friction and heat?
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Hi

Explanation:

That's why rubbing your hands together makes them warmer. ... Friction causes the molecules on rubbing surfaces to move faster, so they have more energy. This gives them a higher temperature, and they feel warmer. Heat from friction can be useful.

Density of a piece of wood that has a measurement of 24 cm3 and 768 g
Brut [27]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 32 g/cm³</h3>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume} \\

From the question

mass = 768 g

volume = 24 cm³

We have

density =  \frac{768}{24}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>32 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you

Which statement is true?
MissTica

Answer:

The correct answer is in an exothermic reaction the energy of the product is less than the energy of the reactants.

Explanation:

Exothermic reaction is a type of reaction that generates heat.As a result in case of an exothermic reaction the energy of the reactant is more than the energy of the product.

       That"s why the enthalpy change in an exothermic reaction is always positive .
