Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The resonance forms of pentadienyl radical to show the three carbon atoms that bear unpaired electron are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The delocalization of lone pair or free electrons from one place to another is known as resonance. The stability of compound depends upon the number of resonating structures. More the resonating structures of compound more will its stability.
(b)
Interpretation:
The number of molecular orbitals in the molecular orbital picture of pentadienyl radical is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Molecular orbital diagrams are used for determining the bonding in molecules using linear combination of atomic orbitals. The number of molecular orbitals formed is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that combine with each other.
(c)
Interpretation:
The number of nodes presents in lower-energy molecular orbital and highest-energy molecular orbital of pentadienyl radical is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Molecular orbital diagrams are used for determining the bonding in molecules using linear combination of atomic orbitals. The number of molecular orbitals formed is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that combine with each other.
(d)
Interpretation:
The molecular orbitals of pentadienyl system in order of increasing energy are to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
Molecular orbital diagrams are used for determining the bonding in molecules using linear combination of atomic orbitals. The number of molecular orbitals formed is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that combine with each other.
(e)
Interpretation:
The number of electrons present in each molecular orbital of pentadienyl radical is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Molecular orbital diagrams are used for determining the bonding in molecules using linear combination of atomic orbitals. The number of molecular orbitals formed is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that combine with each other.

- Compare these chromatograms of three anti-psychotic drugs done by HPLC and SFC. Why is there the difference in separation time for SFC versus HPLC? Hint, use the Van Deemter plot as a guide in answering this question. Why, fundamentally, would you expect a faster separation for SFC than HPLC, in general?arrow_forwardA certain inorganic cation has an electrophoretic mobility of 5.27 x 10-4 cm2s-1V-1. 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_forward2.arrow_forward
- Please solve for the following Electrochemistry that occursarrow_forwardCommercial bleach contains either chlorine or oxygen as an active ingredient. 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.
