Lab: Thermal Energy Transfer Directions

What is the purpose of the lab, the importance of the topic, and the question you are trying to answer?

Section III: Analysis and Discussion

What do the key results indicate?

If you constructed graphs, what trends do they indicate in your data?

Were there any problems with the experiment or the methods? Did you have any surprising results?

Section IV: Conclusions

What do the results tell you about your hypothesis(es)?

How do the data support your claim above?

If you could repeat the experiment and make it better, what would you do differently and why?

For cyclohexane compounds drawn in a chair conformation:   -axial bonds are vertical  -equatorial bonds are parallel to two bonds within the ring.  thus, as i assume the chair conformation is drawn:   -the x group is in an axial position, as are the five other vertical bonds.  -three axial bonds are on the top face of the ring  -the other three axial bonds are on the bottom face  the position of the second substituent on each ring carbon is equatorial.  gauche groups must be on an adjacent carbon such as carbon 6 and carbon 2, and also gauche groups are rotated by 60 degrees relative to each other.  drawing the newman projections for c1–c2 and c1–c6 aids in visualizing the groups that are gauche to the y group on c1.  click this link and watch some academic videos that may you more understand the topic
