How Many Resonance Structures Does KC2H3O2 Have?

AI Thread Summary
K C2H3O2, also known as potassium acetate, has multiple resonance structures, with the original poster identifying at least four. They express a need for visual representations of these structures and inquire if there are more than what they have drawn. The discussion reveals a misunderstanding about the molecule's dissociation, which the poster clarifies as a key factor in understanding its resonance. Participants are encouraged to share additional resonance structures in PDF format. The conversation emphasizes the importance of recognizing molecular dissociation in resonance structure analysis.

1. I need to be able to draw K C2H3O2 and any resonance structures. SO far I have drawn four and I can think of at least four more to draw... does anyone know if there are more than four and if so, could you please submit a pdf of the resonance structures?

I figured out what my problem was... I didn't realize that the molecule dissociates. Blonde moment, I got it all figured out when I realized that. Thanks, though!

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
