In the OChem book, there is a problem involving the calculation of K and the percent composition of the mixture. Can someone please the initial step of determining the energy of the axial methyl??
Thanks

Re: OCHEM INTRO problem p.116
The energy for one axial methyl was provided to be 7 kJ/mol. Since the structure you're looking at is trans-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane, you can have 2 axial methyl groups. So that's why they multiplied it by 2 and got 14 kJ/mol.
Return to “*Calculations Using ΔG° = -RT ln K”
