The “boat” form and the “chair” form of cyclohexane (C6H12) interconvert as shown here:

In this representation, the H atoms are omitted and a C atom is assumed to be at each intersection of two lines (bonds). The conversion is first order in each direction. The activation energy for the chair→ boat conversion is 41 kJ/mol. If the frequency factor is 1.0 × 1012 s−1, what is k1 at 298 K? The equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction is 9.83 × 103 at 298 K.
