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:

The longest wavelength of radiation with enough energy to break a carbon–carbon bond is 343.75 nm.

Explanation:

E = hc/λ

E: energy = 348 000 J / 6.022 x 10²³ = 5.7788 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

h: Planck's constant = 6.62607004 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c: speed of light = 299 792 458 m / s

λ: wavelength

λ = hc/E

λ = (6.62607004 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s x 299 792 458 m / s) /  5.7788 x 10⁻¹⁹J

λ = 3.4375 x 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 343.75 nm

Answer:

Longest wavelength :3.44 x 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

The  maximum wavelength of the radiation  with enough energy to break carbon to carbon bonds will be given by:

                        E= hc/λ    where h is Plancks constant for one photon,

                                                     c speed of light

                                                      E enrgy required  per mol

One has to be careful in this problem to either multiply Planck`s constant by Avogadro's  number to obtain the energy of a mol of photons or convert the given required energy  per mol to energy per atom.

Substituting in our equation and doing the calculations:

λ = hc/E

λ = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js /mol x 3 x 10^8 m/s  x 6.022 x 10²³8 mol  / ( 3.48 x 10⁵ J    =  3.44 x 10⁻⁷ m = 3440 nm which corresponds to the Infrared part of the spectrum.

Is a solution a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture
Alja [10]

Answer:

Solutions are always homogeneous.

Explanation:

Solution:

Solution are considered homogeneous because in solution the ratio of solute and solvent remain the same throughout the solution. Both solute and solvent are chemically combined and form a new substance.

In solution the particles of solute can not be seen through naked eye.

When the light is passed through the solution it can not scattered.

Example:

When salt is dissolve in water it makes a solution.

The solution also exist in gaseous form. For example oxygen and many other gases dissolved in nitrogen also form a solution.

Mixture:

In mixture substance are physically combined. In mixture every every individual particle retain their properties.

It can be consist of solid, liquid and gas.

Examples:

Sand in water is also a mixture.

Oil in water form mixture.

How do some deep-sea animals use their bioluminescence, or ability to give off light? (
Svetlanka [38]
Certain fish species use bioluminescence as a form of "night light". Some use it for communication. Certain species of crustaceans send out coded signals to others of their own kind during mating season. Other creatures use bioluminescence as a trap.
