Answer:
35.29%
Explanation:
% error = |experimental value - Accepted value| / Accepted Value x 100
Number of questions: 34
Number of questions answered: 22
%error = |22-34| / 34 x 100
Hence, John's percentage error is 35.29 % or 35.3%
Answer:
The most stable conformer would be the anti-conformer when the substituent methyl groups are farthest away from each other.
Explanation:
Isomers are chemical compounds with the same molecular formula but with different molecular structures.
Conformers are a special type of isomers that produce different structures when the substituents of a Carbon-Carbon single bond (C-C) are rotated.
In 2,3 dimethyl butane, the substituent methyl groups are located around the second and third Carbon to Carbon single bond.
To achieve a stable configuration, the methyl group substituents need to be as far apart as possible (that is, in an anti-position) to minimise repulsion.
The closer the methyl groups are to each other, the more they repel each other and the more unstable the conformer becomes.
