Problem 29 To determine the symmetry of the normal modes of methane, an analysis of the transformation of individual coordinate systems on the five atoms is carried out. After the rotational and translational representations are removed, the following reducible representation Xreducible is obtained for the vibrational modes: Ê 8Ĉ3 3C2 6 S4 60d 0 1 −1 3 Using the character table for the Td group, verify that Treducible = A1 + E + 2T₂ 30 30

Amines are weak bases. Table 10.2 in the course textbook provides a list of pKb values for several amines. The pK values for three amines and their structures are shown below. Explain why increased substitution on nitrogen results in an increase of the pKb value. H3C-NH2 PK = 3.36 H3C N-H pKb = 3.27 H₂C' H3C N-CH3 PK = 4.19 H₂C
