Question

become equatorial, and all equatorial groups become axial. Larger substituents prefer to be in the equatorial position, and the relative amounts of each chair conformer are dependent on the degree of steric strain in the conformers. The difference in free energy between equatorial and axial methylcyclohexane is ~7.3 kJ/mol at 298 K; what is the ratio between the axial and equatorial conformational isomers?
