Question
Chapter 14.4, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The possible resonance structures for the given cation and the structure that makes the largest contribution to the resonance hybrid is to be drawn.
Concept introduction: Most of the organic structures cannot be represented using single Lewis structure. Therefore, there exists more than one Lewis structure for representing a molecule or ion. These structures are known as resonance structures. These are the hypothetical structures and do not specify the exact structure. These resonance structure combine together to give resonance hybrid that is lower in energy and is the most stable structure.
The delocalization of electrons results in the formation resonance structure.
The stability of resonance structures depends upon the following rules:
• The stability of resonance structure is more if it possesses more bonds and fewer charges.
• Resonance structure will be more stable if atoms of the resonance structure have complete octet.
• The stability of resonance structure is more if negative charge is on more electronegative atom

- Please help me with # 4 and 5. Thanks in advance!arrow_forwardA small artisanal cheesemaker is testing the acidity of their milk before it coagulates. During fermentation, bacteria produce lactic acid (K₁ = 1.4 x 104), a weak acid that helps to curdle the milk and develop flavor. The cheesemaker has measured that the developing mixture contains lactic acid at an initial concentration of 0.025 M. Your task is to calculate the pH of this mixture and determine whether it meets the required acidity for proper cheese development. To achieve the best flavor, texture and reduce/control microbial growth, the pH range needs to be between pH 4.6 and 5.0. Assumptions: Lactic acid is a monoprotic acid H H :0:0: H-C-C H :0: O-H Figure 1: Lewis Structure for Lactic Acid For simplicity, you can use the generic formula HA to represent the acid You can assume lactic acid dissociation is in water as milk is mostly water.
