Question: For each molecule in Problem 32, estimate the energy difference between the most stable and next best conformation. Calculate the approximate ratio of the two

For each molecule in Problem 32, estimate the energy difference between the most stable and next best conformation. Calculate the approximate ratio of the two at 300 K.
Problem 32:
(a) cyclohexanol;
For each molecule in Problem 32, estimate the energy difference

(b) trans-3-methylcyclohexanol (see structures in the margin);

For each molecule in Problem 32, estimate the energy difference

(c) cis-1-methyl-3-(1-methylethyl)cyclohexane;
(d) trans-1-ethyl-3-methoxycyclohexane (see structure in the margin);

For each molecule in Problem 32, estimate the energy difference

(e) trans-1-chloro-4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)cyclohexane.
