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

Over time, chronic hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections can progress to advanced liver disease, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Unlike other forms, more than 80% of hepatitis C infections become chronic and lead to liver disease. When combined with hepatitis B, hepatitis C now accounts for 75% percent of all cases of liver disease around the world. Liver failure caused by hepatitis C is now leading cause of liver transplants in the United States.

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. About 10% of Americans older than age 40 years have diverticulosis, which, when the pouches become infected or inflamed, is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.
