Imagine that the staggered and eclipsed conformers of a small, saturated hydrocarbon are separated in energy by 3.2 kcal/mol. Given this information, what would be the ratio of staggered to eclipsed conformers of this molecule at any given instant? Assume that the sample is at thermal equilibrium at 25 °C, and enter your answer to the nearest ones. Hint: the gas constant, R, equals 1.987 cal/K·mol and T in Kelvin equals the temperature in Celsius + 273; also, assume that all the molecules are either staggered or eclipsed.

Amines are good nucleophiles, even though they are neutral molecules. how would the rate of an sn2 reaction between an amine and an alkyl halide be affected if the polarity of the solvent is increased? amines are good nucleophiles, even though they are neutral molecules. how would the rate of an reaction between an amine and an alkyl halide be affected if the polarity of the solvent is increased? because both reactants in the rate-limiting step are neutral, the reaction will be faster if the polarity of the solvent is increased. because both reactants in the rate-limiting step are neutral, the reaction will be slower if the polarity of the solvent is increased. because both reactants in the rate-limiting step are neutral, the reaction will occur at the same rate if the polarity of the solvent is increased. request answer
