Case study Description Faisal is a successful architect who is trying to use the extra time that he has during the coronavirus crisis in a simple way. He decides to focus on an ambitious new project. In this project, he and his team of architects, engineers, and developers will build a house specifically for living on the sea. It will be stable and safe in waves up to five meters high. A family of five will be comfortable living in it. Faisal and his team decide to make the house simple but beautiful. Since real estate can be expensive, Faisal decides to make the house cost less than USD 400,000. There will be a dock that will be attached to it which can lift boats out of the water and automatically wash them, in order to keep them from rusting. To make it so that it could float in areas close to cities in the Arabian Gulf, the house is designed so that it does not need water any deeper than two meters deep in order to be stable and floating. To help the family to be able to travel back and forth comfortably to their floating home in any type of weather, Faisal offers a special boat that can handle high waves.
Explain which methods of simplicity have been applied in this case study. Mention at least 3 different methods and provide clear reasons for choosing these methods.

with a potential difference of 9.00 V.
a)What is the equivalent capacitance?
b) What is the the charge in each capacitor, and what is the potential difference across
each capacitor?
c) What is the energy stored in each capacitor?

Draw the mechanism for the formation of the carbocation obtained. Explain why the solution of this carbocation is colored. See below for information on the experiment:
To test for a carbocation in a lab, we did the following:
1) Dissolve a small amount of diphenylmethanol into methanol, and add concentrated sulfuric acid dropwise. This caused the solution to turn yellow/orange.
2) Dissolve a small amount of benzophenone into methanol, and add concentrated sulfuric acid dropwise. The solution remained clear.
