Question: The energy difference between anti-butane and either one of the gauche-butane conformations is 2.8 kj mol-1(0.67 kcal mol-1). Treating this difference as a standard free

The energy difference between anti-butane and either one of the gauche-butane conformations is 2.8 kj mol-1(0.67 kcal mol-1). Treating this difference as a standard free energy, calculate the amounts of gauche - and anti - butane present in equilibrium in one mole of butane at 25°C.(Remember that there are two gauche conformations.)
