Answer:

Axial

Explanation:

In the most stable conformation of Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol, the tert-butyl group is at equatorial position and the alcohol group is in the axial position.

If the tert-butyl group is placed in equatorial position, repulsions are minimized. The bulkier the group, the greater the energy difference between the axial and equatorial conformers. Hence for a ring having a bulky substituent, such bulky substituent is better placed in the equatorial position.

The energy difference between the conformers of Cis-3-tert-Butylcyclohexanol is so high that the compound is almost "frozen" in a conformation where the tert-butyl groups are equatorial and the -OH groups are axial. This conformer is more stable by 24 KJ/mol.

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: Scientific reasoning

Explanation:

A scientific reasoning can be defined as the justification which connects the evidence with that of the claim and it rules out all those claims that are not supported by any evidence. It explains the fact that how evidence can support a claim and scientifically acceptable conclusion can be drawn. An argument is always based on one or more claims which can either be true or evidentially proved.

Which statement describes the location of metalloids on the periodic table? The metalloids are located below metals and above no

Talja [164]

The metalloids are Boron, Silicon, Geranium, etc and are found to the right of the metals and the left of the nonmetals. Since that is not an option, the best choice would be: The metalloids are located below nonmetals and above metals within a group.

What are the atomic number and mass number of this atom

lina2011 [118]

No diagram is given therefore I cannot answer however, use this for reference.
The atomic mass of an atom would be the number of protons PLUS the number of neutrons. Because this atom shown has 6 protons and 6 neutrons, they add up to 12. In this case, the atomic mass of this atom is 12. Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom, in this case it is 6. The atomic number is 6.

Urea, CH4N2O (s), is manufactured from NH3 (g) and CO2 (g). H2O (l) is another product of this reaction. An experiment is starte

Katarina [22]

Answer:

a. 4.41 g of Urea

b. 1.5 g of Urea

Explanation:

To start the problem, we define the reaction:

2NH₃ (g) + CO₂ (g) → CH₄N₂O (s) + H₂O(l)

We only have mass of ammonia, so we assume the carbon dioxide is in excess and ammonia is the limiting reactant:

2.6 g . 1mol / 17g = 0.153 moles of ammonia

Ratio is 2:1. 2 moles of ammonia can produce 1 mol of urea

0.153 moles ammonia may produce, the half of moles

0153 /2 = 0.076 moles of urea

To state the theoretical yield we convert moles to mass:

0.076 mol . 58 g/mol = 4.41 g

That's the 100 % yield reaction

If the percent yield, was 34%:

4.41 g . 0.34 = 1.50 g of urea were produced.

Formula is (Yield produced / Theoretical yield) . 100 → Percent yield
