Answer:
Thermal energy is transferred between particles that are in direct contact with each other.
Thermal energy is transferred between objects of different temperatures.
Thermal energy is transferred from fast-moving particles to slow-moving particles.
Explanation:
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.
