The pK, of cyclopentadiene (1) and cycloheptatriene (II) are around 16 and 36 respectively. Which of the following is not a valid explanation for the large difference in the two pk, values? O The conjugate base of cyclopentadiene (1) is an aromatic anion. The conjugate base of cycloheptatriene (1) is a nonaromatic anion. O f the conjugate base of cycloheptatriene (I1) was flat it would be antiaromatic. O The conjugate base of cycloheptatriene (11) is less stable due to aromaticity. The conjugate base of cyclopentadiene (1) is more stable due to aromaticity.

c) At pH 1.58, calculate the free [CO32-] when [CO32-]t = 48 mM. You can either solve 3 simultaneous equations to solve this problem for [H2CO3], [HCO3 ] and [CO32], or simply calculate the ratio of the two highest concentration species at the pH of the solution, and then calculate the [CO32-] from those values. What are the two highest concentration species at pH 1.58?
