General organic chemistryYou were running GC experiments on your unknown as well as unknown + sample spikes. Your unknown had two components, but when you got to the last sample containing a "spike,"your syringe became clogged. Since you were in a hurry, you quickly borrowed a syringe from the neighboring instrument; however, you ended up with four peaks in your chromatogram! What is the easiest and fastest thing to do to finish your lab?
Re-mix all of your samples and run all the chromatograms again.
Re-run your last sample after rinsing the syringe with that sample.
Run the sample on a different GC.

General organic chemistryWe saw in lab that although iodine is a much bigger atom than chlorine, iodine has a much lower conformational energy cost than
chlorine as an axial substituent.
What best explains this phenomenon?
The very long carbon-iodine bond minimizes steric strain.
The very long carbon-iodine bond minimizes torsional strain.
The outermost electrons of iodine are much more dispersed and therefore strain energy is reduced.
Olodine's heavier atomic weight allows it to reside further away from the chair structure.
