The C–O absorption in carboxylic acids appears around 1250 cm-1.  The C–O absorption in an alcohol appears around 1050 cm-1. Explain why.



◦ Only compound I has resonance, causing it to have a higher stretching absorption.
◦ Compound II has more possible resonance structures, increasing the single bond character of the carbonyl group.
◦ Compound I has a C to O bond with more single bond character than that of compound II, increasing the expected stretching absorption of the bond.
◦ Only compound II has resonance, causing it to have a higher stretching absorption.
◦ Compound I has more possible resonance structures, increasing the single bond character of the carbonyl group.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

A cataract is a clouding of the eyes' natural lens. As we age, some clouding of the lens may occur. The first sign of a cataract is usually blurry vision. Although glasses and other visual aids may at first help a person with cataracts, surgery may become inevitable. Cataract surgery is very successful in restoring vision, and it is the most frequently performed surgery in the United States.
