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.

Find the grams in 1.26*10^-4 mol of HC2H3O2
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

0.00757 grams

Explanation:

Find the molar mass of the compound: which is 60.05.

The molar mass is basically just the sum of all the atomic masses of each of the elements.

Then multiply the molar mass by the number of moles in the compound, which is 1.26 x 10^-4 moles.

Your answer should be 0.00757 grams.
