To determine the resonance structures of phenol, which is \( \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{OH} \):

1. Draw the basic structure of phenol. Phenol has a benzene ring with an -OH group attached.
2. Identify the lone pairs on the oxygen atom and consider the conjugation with the benzene ring.
3. Push the electrons to create double bonds around the ring and form new resonance structures.
4. Count the distinct resonance structures generated by the delocalization of electrons.

The distinct resonance structures are:
- One structure where the lone pair on the oxygen forms a double bond with the carbon it is attached to, pushing the electrons around the ring,
- And four more structures with different positions of the double bonds and negative charges on the carbons around the benzene ring.

So, the answer is 5 resonance structures.

Your boss asks you to plan the sample size for a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial in the clinical development of a cure for irritable bowl disease. Current standard treatment shall be compared with a new treatment in this trial. The S3-guideline of AWM demonstrated a mean change of the summary score of the validated health related quality of life questionnaire at 8 weeks of 16 with standard deviation 23 under standard treatment. You quote the drop-out rate of 11% from literature (previous phase of clinical development). Your research yielded a clinically important effect of 4 that has been found to be the Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID). In order to demonstrate superiority of the new treatment over standard of care, you assume that the change in of the summary score of the validated health related quality of life questionnaire follows a normal distribution, and that the standard deviation is the same for both treatments. How many patientes would one need to recruit for the trial to demonstrate the clinically interesting difference between treatments at significance level 5% with 95% power?
