(a)
Interpretation:
It is to be determined if the given pair is not resonance structures of one another.
Concept introduction:
Resonance exists in species for which there are two or more valid Lewis structures. Resonance structures differ only in the placement of their electrons, not their atoms. Resonance stabilization is usually high when the resonance contributors are equivalent. More the number of the resonance contributors, the more is the resonance stabilization.

Answer to Problem 1.75P
The given structures are not resonance structures of one another.
Explanation of Solution
The structures of the given pair are shown below:
The two structures have completely different carbon skeleton. The first one has a six membered ring while the second has a seven membered ring. Since these two structures do not have the same position of the atoms, they cannot be resonance structures.
From the position of atoms and electrons, it is found that the given pair is not resonance structures of one another.

The same ion has a diffusion coefficient of 9.5 x 10-6cm2s-1. If this ion is separated from cations by CZE with a 75cm capillary, what is the expected plate count, N, at an applied voltage of 15.0kV? Under these separation conditions, the electroosmotic flow rate was 0.85mm s-1 toward the cathode. If the detector was 50.0cm from the injection end of the capillary, how long would it take in minutes for the analyte cation to reach the detector after the field was applied?arrow_forward

A commercial oxygenated bleach is much safer to handle and less likely to ruin your clothes. It is possible to determine the amount of active ingredient in an oxygenated bleach product by performing a redox titration. The balance reaction for such a titration is: 6H+ +5H2O2 +2MnO4- à 5O2 + 2Mn2+ + 8H2O If you performed the following procedure: “First, dilute the Seventh Generation Non-Chlorine Bleach by pipetting 10 mL of bleach in a 100 mL volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with distilled water. Next, pipet 10 mL of the diluted bleach solution into a 250 mL Erlenmeyer flask and add 20 mL of 1.0 M H2SO4 to the flask. This solution should be titrated with 0.0100 M KMnO4 solution.” It took 18.47mL of the KMnO4 to reach the endpoint on average.
