Ultraviolet radiation and radiation of shorter wavelengths can damage biological molecules because they carry enough energy to b

reak bonds within the molecules. A typical carbon–carbon bond requires 348 kJ/mol to break. What is the longest wavelength of radiation with enough energy to break carbon–carbon bonds?

Answer:

343.98 nm is the longest wavelength of radiation with enough energy to break carbon–carbon bonds.

Explanation:

A typical carbon–carbon bond requires 348 kJ/mol=348000 J/mol

Energy required to breakl sigle C-C bond:E

E=\frac{348000 J/mol}{6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}}=5.7788\times 10^{-19} J

E=\frac{h\times c}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy of photon

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}Js

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

\lambda = wavelength of the radiation

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the energy of the photons.

\lambda =\frac{(6.63\times 10^{-34}Js)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)}{5.7788\times 10^{-19} J}

\lambda =3.4398\\times 10^{-7}m=343.98 nm

1 m = 10^{9} nm

343.98 nm is the longest wavelength of radiation with enough energy to break carbon–carbon bonds.

How many moles of sodium cyanide (NaCN) would be needed to produce 4.2 moles of sodium sulfate (Na2SO4)? H2SO4 + 2NaCN → 2HCN +
leonid [27]
The purpose of a chemical equation is to relate the amounts of reactants to the amounts of products based on the rate each is consumed. In this problem, one mole of sulfuric acid is consumed along with two moles of sodium cyanide to produce two moles of hydrocyanic acid and one mole of sodium sulfate. The relationship between sodium cyanide and sodium sulfate is 2:1, meaning that two moles of NaCN is required to produce one mole of sodium sulfate.

To produce 4.2 moles of sodium sulfate, two times this amount of NaCN is required. This means that you would need 8.4 moles of sodium cyanide.

Hope this helps!

A molecule that forms when atoms of the same element bond together is called a(n)________
Mice21 [21]

Answer: element.


Justification:


1) A molecule is the union of two or more atoms.


2) When two or more atoms of different elements bond together, the molecule formed is a compound.


For example: one atoms of hydrogen and one atom of chlorine form the molecule HCl, which is a compound (hydrogen chloride).


3) When the molecules is formed by two atoms of the same element, it is not called a compound, but element. Some examples of this are the diatomic gases:


H₂: hydrogen


Cl₂: chlorine


Br₂: bromine


O₂: oxygen


S₂: sulfur


N₂: nitrogen.
