The energy difference in these two conformations has been measured to be about 23 kj per mole. how much of this energy difference is due to the torsional energy of gauche relationships?

The answer is 7.8 kJ / mol.

Explanation:

Energy = (number of methyl group) (Gauche interactions)(3.8kJ/mol per interaction)

           = (2)(2)(3.8 kJ / mol)

            = 15.2 kJ / mol.

The energy  = (number of methyl group) - ( energy of gauche interactions)

                    = (23 kJ/mol) - 15.2 kJ/mol

                    = 7.8 kJ / mol.

i sometimes feel that way too. i feel that i should hurt someone because they hurt me, but i wouldnt do it. that would make things so much worse i have so much experience with this stuff

explanation:

the answer would be c
