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.

We make a basic solution by mixing 50. mL of 0.10 M NaOH and 50. mL of 0.10 M Ca(OH)2. It requires 250 mL of an HCl solution to

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: The correct answer is Option 5.

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of the solution after mixing 2 solutions, we use the equation:

$M=\frac{n_1M_1V_1+n_2M_2V_2}{V_1+V_2}$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of the NaOH.

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of the $Ca(OH)_2$

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=0.10M\\V_1=50mL\\n_2=2\\M_2=0.1\\V_2=50mL$

Putting all the values in above equation, we get:

$M=\frac{(1\times 0.1\times 50)+(2\times 0.1\times 50)}{50+50}\\\\M=0.15M$

To calculate the molarity of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is $HCl$

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base.

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=?M\\V_1=250mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.15M\\V_2=100mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1\times M_1\times 250=1\times 0.15\times 100\\\\M_1=0.06M$

Hence, the correct answer is Option 5.

A sample of gas originally at 25 C and 1.00 atm pressure in a 2.5 L container is allowed to expand until the pressure is 0.85 at

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

Final volumeof the gas = 2.84 L

Explanation:

The formular to be used here is the general gas equation. the formular is being used because it gives the relationship between the three gas parameters (volume, temperature and pressure) mentioned.

The general gas equation is given as;

$\frac{P1V1}{T1} = \frac{P2V2}{T2}$

where;

P1 = initial pressure

V1 = initial volume

T1 = initial temperature

P2 = Final pressure

V2 = Final volume

T2 = Final temperature

From the question,

P1 = 1.00 atm

P2 = 0.85atm

T1 = 25C + 273 = 298K (Converting to kelvin)

T2 = 15C + 273 = 288K (Converting to kelvin)

V1 = 2.5L

V2 = ?

from the equation, making V2 subject of formula we have;

$V2 = \frac{T2P1V1}{T1P2}$

V2 = (1*2.5*288)/(298*0.85) = 2.84 L.
