Two isomeric compounds, A and B, are known to each have a monosubstituted benzene ring (C6H5). Both have the formula C6H5C3H5O2 and both are insoluble in water. However, when they are treated with an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate, A dissolves, but B does not. Give structures for both A and B consistent with this information. Explain your reasoning. Is the information provided sufficient to uniquely define the structures of A and B? If not, what other experimental data would be useful to further limit the structural possibilities? I really need to understand this really soon please answer as soon as possible.

Benzene is a known human carcinogen. The boiling point of benzene is 80. °C (reference 1). a) Research online to find the short term exposure limit (STEL) for benzene. What does the STEL mean? b) A friend is planning to do an experiment with liquid benzene at 21 °C on the open bench top in a small (18 m3 ) poorly ventilated room (i.e. consider the room to be a closed system for this question). Convert the STEL to vapour...

In the benzene molecule, carbon atoms form a ring with alternating single and double bonds in between each of them. Each carbon atom forms one σ bond with one carbon atom and one σ and one π bond with another. The π bonding electrons are delocalized over the entire molecule. Thus, benzene is a resonance hybrid of two equivalent structures, and the single and double bonds oscillate from one position to the other. Calculate the bond order for one carbon-carbon...
