Question
Chapter 4.2, Problem 4.4E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:The stability of cis- 1,2-dimethylcyclopropane and trans -1,2-dimethylcyclopropane needs to be compared and the isomer that liberates more heat on combustion needs to be identified.
Concept introduction:Two groups are said to be cis if they are directed towards same direction in a molecule. If the direction of two groups is opposite, then they are said to be trans in nature.

Explain the concept of Cyclohexane Conformations ?
Draw the structure of (R)-3-chloro-3-methylhexane. Use wedges and dashes to clearly indicate stereochemistry.
The molar heat of combustion of gaseous cyclopropane is -2089 Kj/mol, that for gaseous cyclopentene is -3317 Kj/mol. Calculate the heat of combustion per CH2 group in the two cases and account for the difference
