Chair and Boat Conformers of Cyclohexane (C6H12). Note it is impossible to place all the carbons in the same plane without strai

ning the bonds. Take two opposite carbons and pull both of them up to make one conformation and then pull one of them down to make the other conformation.
a. Can you interconvert one conformer into the other without breaking any bonds?
b. Explain why these represent conformers and not isomers.

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Conformation refers to the various spatial arrangements of atoms in a molecule that result from free rotation across the carbon-carbon single bond.

There are two possible conformations of cyclohexane. They are; the chair and boat conformations.

We can convert the molecule from one conformation to another by rotation of single bonds.

These conformations are not isomers. Isomers are different molecules while conformers are different spatial arrangements of the same molecule obtained by rotation across carbon-carbon single bonds. Isomers are not obtained by rotation across carbon-carbon single bonds.

Hence, the chair and boat conformers of cyclohexane are obtained by rotation across the carbon-carbon single bond hence they are conformers and not isomers.

Why k has more shielding effect than Na?​
lara [203]

Explanation:

As the charge of all electrons are equal, the repulsive force exerted by each of them is also going to be equal. So, as K has more electrons repulsing its valence electron than Na, it has greater electron shielding.

Given the chemical equation: 2 Pb + O2 → 2 PbO, if 51.8 grams of Pb are formed in this reaction, then 8.00 grams of O2 must have
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

If 51.8 of Pb is reacting, it will require 4.00 g of O2

If 51.8 g of PbO is formed, it will require 3.47 g of O2.

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

2 Pb + O2 → 2 PbO

From the equation of reaction, 2 moles of lead metal, Pb, reacts with 1 mole of oxygen gas, O2, to produce 2 moles of lead (ii) oxide, PbO

Molar mass of Pb = 207 g

Molar mass of O2 = 32 g

Molar mass of PbO = 207 + 32 = 239 g

Therefore 2 × 207 g of Pb reacts with 32 g of O2 to produce 2 × 239 g of PbO

= 414 g of Pb reacts with 32 g of O2 to produce 478 g of PbO

Therefore, formation of 51.8 g of PbO will require (32/478) × 51.8 of O2 = 3.47 g of O2.

If 51.8 of Pb is reacting, it will require (32/414) × 51.8 g of O2 = 4.00 g of O2

Write and balance the chemical equation for the reaction associated with ΔHof of Li3N(s). What is the sum of all of the coeffici
ivann1987 [24]

Explanation:

In this reaction, the reactants are Li and N2. The product is Li3N

So we have;

Li + N2 → Li3N

Upon balancing, we have;

6Li + N2 → 2 Li3N

The sum of the coefficients is 6 + 1 + 2 = 9
