Interpretation Introduction To understand: The contribution of the resonance structures to the overall structure of a molecule. Explanation To understand the contribution of the resonance structures to the resonance hybrid, we need to compare the stability of the resonating structures. The rules for estimating the stability of the resonating structures are as follows: The more the number of covalent bonds in the resonating structure, the more is the stability. This is because in that case, more atoms will have complete octets. The resonating structure having the least number of formal charges would have the maximum stability...

Thermochemistry

Thermochemistry can be considered as a branch of thermodynamics that deals with the connections between warmth, work, and various types of energy, formed because of different synthetic and actual cycles. Thermochemistry describes the energy changes that …

Exergonic Reaction

The term exergonic is derived from the Greek word in which ‘ergon’ means work and exergonic means ‘work outside’. Exergonic reactions releases work energy. Exergonic reactions are different from exothermic reactions, the one that releases only heat energ…

Reagan is doing an atomic absorption experiment that requires a set of zinc standards in the 0.4- 1.6 ppm range. A 1000 ppm Zn solution was prepared by dissolving the necessary amount of solid Zn(NO3)2 in water. The standards can be prepared by diluting the 1000 ppm Zn solution. Table 1 shows one possible set of serial dilutions (stepwise dilution of a solution) that Reagan could perform to make the necessary standards. Solution A was prepared by diluting 5.00 ml of the 1000 ppm Zn standard to 50.00 ml. Solutions C-E are called "calibration standards" because they will be used to calibrate the atomic absorption spectrometer.
