Chapter 4.4, Problem 4.8E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The ΔG° value is given as 1.7 kcal mol-1, using the expression ΔG°(in kcal mol1) = 1.36 log K the value of K for equatorial versus axial methylcyclohexane needs to be determined.

Concept introduction: According to the position of methyl group and size of the molecules, the interaction between the hydrogen atoms differs and the K value is determined using the expression,

  ΔG°= 1.36 log K
