The equilibrium constant for the ring-flip of fluorocyclohexane is 1.5 at 25°C. Calculate the percentage of the axial conformer at this temperature.

Answer:
40.00
Solution:

K_eq = [eq] / [ax] = 1.5

% axial = [ax] / ([eq] + [ax]) × 100 = 1 / (1.5 + 1) × 100 = 1/2.5 × 100 = 40%

So 40% of the molecules are in the axial conformer (and 60% equatorial) at 25°C.
