Answer #1

Shown below are the two Newmann projections of n-pentane. anti-conformation is where the methyl and ethyl groups are maximum far apart. gauche is when the methyl and ethyl groups are at 60 degrees to each other.

Thus, the highest energy would be of the gauche conformation, Me, Et interaction has 0.9 kcal of energy and Et, H has 0.1 kcal energy. So the gauche would be 0.8 kcal higher in energy than anti conformation.

anti conformation would be more stable (lower energy by 0.8 kcal) than gauche conformation (higher energy by 0.8 kcal).
