The bond enthalpy of the C―N bond in the amide group of proteins can be treated as an average of C―N (276 kJ/mol) and C═N (615 k

J/mol) bonds. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light needed to break the amide bond.

Answer:

268 nm

Explanation:

First' let's calculate the average bond energy:

(276 + 615)/2 = 445.5 kJ/mol

By Avogadro's number 1 mol = 6.02x10²³ molecule, then the energy necessary to break the amide bond in 1 molecule is:

E = 445.5/6.02x10²³ = 7.4x10⁻²² kJ = 7.4x10⁻¹⁹ J

So, the wavelength of light (λ) can be calculated by:

E= h*c/λ

Where h is the Planck's constant (6.626x10⁻³⁴ J.s), and c is the light speed (3.0x10⁸ m/s).

7.4x10⁻¹⁹ = 6.626x10⁻³⁴ * 3.0x10⁸/λ

λ = 2.68x10⁻⁷ m

λ = 268 nm

Bi2(CO3)3<br> Name of this compound
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The name of this compound is :

Bi2(CO3)3 = Bismuth Carbonate

Explanation:

The name of the compound is derived from the name of the elements present  in it.

The rule followed while naming the compound are:

1. The first element (always the cation) is named as such .

2. The second element (The anion) end with "-ate ,  -ide ," etc

3. NO prefix is added while naming the first element.

For example : Bi2 can't be named as Dibismuth

Na2 = Can't be named as disodium

Hence the compound :

Bi2(CO3)3 contain two element : Bi and CO3. Here , Bi = cation (named as such) and CO3 = anion (named according to rules)

Bi = Bismuth

CO3 = carbonate

Bi2(CO3)3 = Bismuth Carbonate

The molecular mass of this compound is :

Molecular mass = 2 (mass of Bi) + 3(mass of C) + 6(mass of O)

= 2 (208.98)+3(12.01)+6(15.99)

= 597.987 u
