Question

For the following two conformations of 2,3-dimethylbutane, determine (choose 1 option below) the total energy cost associated with all torsional strain and steric strain.

a) (6 kJ/mol x 2) + (11 kJ/mol x3) = 45 kJ/mol

b) 3.8 kJ/mol x 4 = 15.2 kJ/mol

c) 3.8 kJ/mol x 3 = 11.4 kJ/mol

d) 11kJ/mol x 4 = 44 kJ/mol

a) 6 kJ/mol + 11 KJ/mol= 17 kJ/mol

b) 3.8 kJ/mol x 3 = 11.4 kJ/mol

c) (6kJ/mol x 2 ) 3.8 kJ/mol = 15.8 kJ/mol

d) (6kJ/mol x 2 ) + 11kJ/mol = 23 kJ/mol
