Answer:

364 nm

Explanation:

The formula for the energy (E) of a photon in terms of its wavelength λ is

E = hc/λ

We can rearrange this formula to give

λ = hc/E

If E = 5.45 × 10⁻¹⁹ J, then

$\begin{array}{rcl}\lambda& = & \dfrac{6.626 \times 10^{-34} \text{ J$\cdot$s} \times 2.998 \times 10^{8}\text{ m$\cdot$ s}^{-1}} {5.45 \times 10^{19} \text{ J}}\\\\& = & 3.64 \times 10^{-7} \text{ m}\\& = & \textbf{364 nm}\\\end{array}\\$

P-fluoroanisole reacts with sulfur trioxide and sulfuric acid. Draw the major product of this substitution reaction; if applicab

Answer: (Structure attached).

Explanation:

This type of reaction is an aromatic electrophilic substitution. The overall reaction is the replacement of a proton (H +) with an electrophile (E +) in the aromatic ring.

The aromatic ring in p-fluoroanisole has two sustituents, an halogen and a methoxy group, which are ortho-para directing substituents.

Aryl sulfonic acids are easily synthesized by an electrophilic substitution reaction aromatic using sulfur trioxide as an electrophile (very reactive).

The reaction occurs in three steps:

The attack on the electrophile forms the sigma complex.
The loss of a proton regenerates an aromatic ring.
The sulfonate group can be protonated in the presence of a strong acid (H₂SO₄).

Normally, a mixture of ortho-para substituted products would be obtained. However, since both para positions are occupied, only the ortho substituted product is obtained here.
