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.

If a car is traveling 100 km/h and comes to a stop in 3 minutes,what is acceleration of a passenger who is using vehicle restrai

Rama09 [41]

We are given –

Final velocity of car is, v= 0
Initial velocity of car is, u= 100 km/hr
Time taken, t is = 3 minutes or 180 sec

Here–

$\qquad$ $\pink{\bf \longrightarrow Initial\: velocity = 100 \:km/hr}$

$\qquad$ $\sf \longrightarrow Initial\: velocity = \dfrac{ 100 \times 1000}{3600} \:m/s$

$\qquad$ $\pink{ \bf \longrightarrow Initial\: velocity = 27.78\: m/s}$

Now –

$\qquad$ ____________________________

$\qquad$ $\purple{\bf \longrightarrow Acceleration = \dfrac{Final\: Velocity -Initial \:Velocity }{Time}}$

$\qquad$ $\purple{\bf \longrightarrow Acceleration = \dfrac{v -u}{t}}$

$\qquad$ $\sf \longrightarrow Acceleration = \dfrac{(0- 27.78)}{1800}$

$\qquad$ $\sf \longrightarrow Acceleration =\cancel{ \dfrac{- 27.78}{1800}}$

$\qquad$ $\purple{\bf \longrightarrow Acceleration = -0.15 \: m/s^2}$

$\qquad$ _______________________________

Will mark brilliant pls help question is above

Degger [83]

Answer:

a.) The garden plants provide energy to all the other organisms. While not every organism consumes garden plants directly, every organism's food lineage can be traced to garden plants. For instance, while ground beetles do not directly consume garden plants, they do eat snails, and snails eat garden plants.

b.) The slug population might increase is the aphid population decreased because there would be less competition for food resources. Both populations consume garden plants, and there is only a finite number of garden plants. Therefore, there is a limit that each population can consume. If there were less aphids eating the garden plants, there would be more left for the slugs. Less starving slugs would lead to greater reproduction and thus a higher slug population.

What is the mass in grams of 3.0x10^23 molecules of carbon dioxide??

Sonja [21]

Moles of CO2 = number of molecules / 6.02x10^23. = 3x10^23/6.02x10^23 = 0.5moles. Therefore, mass of CO2 = moles x molecular mass of CO2= 0.5x44 = 22gm.
