Q:

The two compounds A and B shown in the attached ChemDraw file can be equilibrated in aqueous acid.  Experimentally, the equilibrium constant is found to be 1 at 48 °C.  Deduce a steric A value for the OH group from this information.  (If you have a sufficiently up-to-date version of ChemDraw, you should find that the molecular structures can be rotated in 3D.)
