1.17 × 10¹⁵ s⁻¹ is the frequency and the wavelength is 3.43 × 10⁻⁷m of the least energetic photon that can break an average C - C bond.

WHAT IS CARBON BACKBONE ?

The carbon backbone is also called the carbon skeleton. All organic compounds are made up of carbon-carbon bonds, creating a carbon skeleton or backbone in the compounds.

Carbon Skeleton Structure :

The carbon skeleton structures consist of bending lines, periodically other elements are written in as well. The carbon skeleton characteristics that change the overall structure includes:

  • Length of carbon chain (the longer it is the more zig-zags are drawn).
  • Shape of the carbon chain (branches, rings, etc. all change the shape of the skeleton).
  • Location of attached functional groups, they need to be put onto the correct point in the skeleton.
  • Any double or triple bonds that are present, particularly as triple bonds change the shape of the skeleton.

<h3>What is wavelength?</h3>

Forms of electromagnetic radiation like radio waves, light waves or infrared (heat) waves make characteristic patterns as they travel through space. Each wave has a certain shape and length. The distance between peaks (high points) is called wavelength.

Step 1 :

Here we have to calculate the frequency and wavelength of the least energetic photon that can break an average C - C bond and have to find out in what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is this radiation.

Bond energy of C - C = 347 kJ

It is known that E = hv

           ⇒ mu = \frac{E}{h}

Where, E is the energy = 347kJ

            h is the planck's constant = 6.626 * 10^{-34}J.s

            v is the frequency

Now substituting the values, frequency can be calculated as,

             ⇒ v = \frac{E}{h} = \frac{347kJ/1kJ * mol/6.022 * 10^{23}}{6.626 * 10^{-34}J.s}

                             ≈ 8.70 × 10¹⁴ s⁻¹ .

Formula of Wavelength :

              \lambda = \frac{hc}{E}

Where, λ = wavelength

            h = 6.6 × 10⁻³⁴

            c = 3 × 10⁸

            E = bond energy

Now substituting the values, wavelength can be calculated as,

\lambda = \frac{hc}{E} = \frac{6.6 * 10^{-34} * 3 * 10^{8} * 6.023 * 10^{23}}{347 * 10^{3}} = \frac{119.255 * 10^{-34} * 10^{31} * 10^{-3}}{347} = 0.343 * 10^{-6} = 3.43*10^{-7} m

Thus, from the above conclusion we can say that 1.17 × 10¹⁵ s⁻¹ is the frequency and the wavelength is 3.43 × 10⁻⁷ m of the least energetic photon that can break an average C - C bond.

Explain why it is necessary to balance chemical equations in terms of maintaining equilibrium. How can you tell when a chemical
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we say that chemical reactions are governed by the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be neither created nor destroyed by transformed, for that reason, we need to balance chemical reactions in order to ensure all the atoms to be in the same quantity at both reactants and products.

Moreover, equilibrium is defined as such condition at which the concentration of both reactants and products stop changing over the time so they become constant as well as their null reaction rate.

A widely acknowledged reaction is the HABER one which consists on the synthesis of ammonia by using elemental nitrogen and hydrogen:

N_2(g)+3H_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)

In such reaction, we have two nitrogens at both reatants and products and six hydrogens at at both reatants and products for us to obey the law of conservation of mass. Furthermore, as the time goes by, nitrogen reacts with hydrogen, nonetheless, they do not react indefinitely, they have a limit that is equilibrium, so their moles stop being consumed and remain unchanged as well as the produced moles of ammonia.

Best regards.
