The equilibrium constant for the ring-flip of chlorocyclohexane is 3.0 at 25°C. Calculate the percentage of the axial conformer at this temperature.

Answer:

25.00

Solution:

K_eq = [eq] / [ax] = 3.0

% axial = [ax] / ([eq] + [ax]) × 100 = 1 / (3.0 + 1) × 100 = 1/4 × 100 = 25%

So 25% of the molecules are in the axial conformer (and 75% equatorial) at 25°C.
