Draw the two chair conformers for each of the following and indicate which conformer is more stable:
a)cis-1-ethyl-3-methylcyclohexane
b)trans-1-ethyl-2-methylcyclohexane
c)trans-1-ethyl-2-isopropylcyclohex ane
d)cis-1,2-diethylcyclohexane
e)cis-1-ethyl-3-isopropylcyclohexan e
ecis-1-ethyl-4-isopropylcyclohexane

For the drawings, please refer to the attached picture.

Explanation:

Stability of the conformers depends on the location of the groups attached to the main ring. The position of the bulkier (bigger) groups plays the most important role in conformer’s stability. If the conformer contains the bulkier group in the equatorial position, that conformer will be more stable than his twin brother with the bulkier group in the axial position. These are also drawn and attached below.

the answer is a. co2, this would be colder than the : )

explanation:

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
