The barrier to rotation about the $\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{C}$ bond in bromoethane is $15 \mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}$ (3.6 kcal/mol). (a) What energy value can you assign to an $\mathrm{H} \leftrightarrow \mathrm{Br}$ eclipsing interaction? (b) Construct a quantitative diagram of potential energy versus bond rotation for bromoethane.
Estimate the energy for rotation about the C-C bond in 2-bromopropane given that eclipsing H---H, H---CH3, and H---Br interactions in ethane, propane, and bromoethane are worth 4 kJ/mol, 6 kJ/mol, and 7 kJ/mol each, respectively. 16 kJ/mol 17 kJ/mol 18 kJ/mol 19 kJ/mol

Sketch a diagram of potential energy versus angle of rotation about the carbon-carbon bond of chloroethane, $\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{C}-\mathrm{CH}_{2}-\mathrm{Cl}$. The magnitude of the energy barrier to internal rotation is $15.5 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\left(3.7 \mathrm{kcal} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}\right)$. Label this barrier on your diagram.
