<span>Both provide approaches to confirming the result of experimentation. Repetition can be developed by one scientist or team continually achieving the expected result but replication requires an independent person or team shows thay can arrive at the same answer independently</span>
The answears are in the attached photo.
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.
