Chapter 3, Problem 90P
Draw the conformers for the following trisubstituted cyclohexane. Calculate the strain energy of each conformer. (The gauche interaction between a methyl group and an ethyl group is 0.96 kcal/mol; the 1,3-diaxial interaction between a methyl group and a H is 0.87 kcal/mol and between an ethyl group and a H is 1.00 kcal/mol.)

Can someone help me estimate the percentage of ethylcyclohexane molecules that have their substituents in an axial orientation at room temperature? I know how to draw a ethylcyclohexane molecule but I don't know how to go about this problem.
A structure with the formula C7H14O must be drawn that contains one stereocenter, an alcohol, and a disubstituted alkene including what the IUPAC name is for this compound. Dashes/wedges should be used to show which enantiomer is being drawn.
In addition, what is the enantiomer drawing and IUPAC name of this compound, as well as the diastereomer of this compound and IUPAC name?
