Answer:
oxidation number is correct!! :)
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.
The freezing point depression is a colligative property which means that it is proportional to the number of particles dissolved.
The number of particles dissolved depends on the dissociation constant of the solutes, when theyt are ionic substances.
If you have equal concentrations of two solutions on of which is of a ionic compound and the other not, then the ionic soluton will contain more particles (ions) and so its freezing point will decrease more (will be lower at end).
In this way you can compare the freezing points of solutions of KCl, Ch3OH, Ba(OH)2, and CH3COOH, which have the same concentration.
As I explained the solution that produces more ions will exhibit the greates depression of the freezing point, leading to the lowest freezing point.
In this case, Ba(OH)2 will produce 3 iones, while KCl will produce 2, CH3OH will not dissociate into ions, and CH3COOH will have a low dissociation constant.
Answer: Then, you can predict that Ba(OH)2 solution has the lowest freezing point.
