4. Alkanes and Cycloalkanes / A-Values / Problem 21

When a substituent moves from the equatorial to the axial position in a chair-chair interconversion, its A value corresponds to its ∆G° value. A values are always positive numbers because most substituents prefer to be in the equatorial position. Calculate ∆G° and Keq for the chair-chair interconversions below using the given A value.
