What is the energy difference between the two lowest-energy conformations of 2,3-dimethylbutane?
  1.the energy of one gauche interaction
  2.the energy of two gauche interactions
  3.the energy of two H  CH3 eclipsing interactions
  4.the energy of three H  CH3 eclipsing interactions
  5.the energy of two CH3  CH3 eclipsing interactions

Question 2

The lowest energy conformation of decane resembles a straight rod. It is a fully stretched zig-zag conformation with all bonds staggered and all large substituents anti to each other. Imagine we bend this chain at carbon 5. What is the minimum strain that such a once-bent conformation (bent rod) must have?
  1.3.8 kJ/mol
  2.4.0 kJ/mol
  3.6.0 kJ/mol
  4.0.0 kJ/mol
  5.11.0 kJ/mol

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

The use of salicylates dates back 2,500 years to Hippocrates's recommendation of willow bark (from which a salicylate is derived) as an aid to the pains of childbirth. However, overdosage of salicylates can harm body fluids, electrolytes, the CNS, the GI tract, the ears, the lungs, the blood, the liver, and the kidneys and cause coma or death.
