For a question from my practice midterm I'm suppose to draw the meso and R,R configurations of 2,2,3,4,5,5 of hexamethylhexane. Which I didn't have a problem with, but my professor then asks which would give off more heat when burning 1 mole of the compound, the R,R, or meso?
I know if they're in an achiral environment they would have the same properities...but I'm pretty sure oxygen isn't achiral. So can someone please help me, I'm really stuck here. Thanks.
