(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The specific rotation of (R)-(-)-monosodium has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The pair of Enantiomers has different configurations.

Pair of enantiomers has different optical activity, which means if one will show levorotatory then the other will show dextrorotatory.

The direction and magnitude of rotation of plane-polarized light by an optically compound is measured by using polarimeter.

This rotation of polarized light is specific for a compound at specified temperature and wavelength, so it is called as Specific rotation of that compound.

The specific rotation of enantiomers has equal magnitudes and opposite signs.

Racemic mixture (equal amounts of enantiomers) of a compound has zero specific rotation.

(b)

Please help me answer number 1. 1. If your graphs revealed a mathematical relationship between specific heat and atomic mass, write down an equation for the relationship. I also don't understand, is the equation from the line regression the one that I'm suppose use to show the relationship? If so could you work it all the way out?
Describe the principle of resonance and give a set of Lewis Structures to illustrate your explanation.
