(a) The first step in ozone formation in the upper atmosphere occurs when oxygen molecules absorb UV radiation of wavelengths ≤

242 nm. Calculate the frequency and energy of the least energetic of these photons. (b) Ozone absorbs light having wavelengths of 2200 to 2900 Å, thus protecting organisms on Earth’s surface from this high-energy UV radiation. What are the frequency and energy of the most energetic of these photons?

Answer:

a) f = (1.24 × 10^15) Hz and E = (8.214 × 10^-19) J

b) f = (1.36 × 10^15) Hz; E = (9.035 × 10^-19) J

Explanation:

a) The least energetic photons have the highest wavelength. That is, the wavelength of the least energetic photons is equal to the upperlimit of the wavelength inequality given.

λ = 242nm = 2.42 × 10⁻7 m

v = fλ; f = v/λ; v = 3×10^8 m/s

f = (3×10^8)/(2.42×10^-7)

f = (1.24 × 10^15) Hz

E = hf; h = planck's constant = (6.62607004 × 10^-34) Js

E = 6.626 × 10^-34 × 1.24 × 10^15

E = (8.214 × 10^-19) J

b) The photons with the least wavelength in the range provided are the most energetic ones.

λ = (2200 × 10^-10) m = (2.2 × 10^-7) m

v = fλ; f = v/λ; v = 3×10^8 m/s

f = (3×10^8)/(2.2×10^-7)

f = (1.36 × 10^15) Hz

E = hf; h = planck's constant = (6.62607004 × 10^-34) Js

E = 6.626 × 10^-34 × 1.36 × 10^15

E = (9.035 × 10^-19) J

What is the significance of enzymes in maintaining homeostasis in living organisms ?
GalinKa [24]
 Enzymes are needed for metabolic pathways in the body, respiration, digestion and other important life processes. When enzymes function properly, homeostasis is maintained. However, if an enzyme is lacking or has an incorrect shape due to genetic mutation, this can lead to disease within an organism.

A sample of gas contains 0.1100 mol of HBr(g) and 5.00x10^-2 mol of Cl2(g) and occupies a volume of 5.85 L. The following reacti
Vesna [10]

The volume of the sample after the reaction : V₂=5.484 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

Reaction

2HBr(g) + Cl2(g) => 2HCl (g)+Br2(g)

0.1100 mol of HBr(g)

5x10⁻² mol of Cl2(g)

Required

The volume of the sample after reaction

Solution

Find limiting reactant :

0.11/2 : 0.05/1 = 0.055 : 0.05

Limiting reactant : Cl₂

mol Products based on mol Cl₂

mol products = mol HCl + mol Br₂

mol products = 2/1x0.05 + 1/1x0.05

mol products = 3 x 0.05 = 0.15

mol reactants = 0.11 + 0.05 = 0.16

<em>From Avogadro's law, </em>

In the same T, P, and V, the gas contains the same number of molecules  

So the ratio of gas volume will be equal to the ratio of gas moles  

 V₁/n₁=V₂/n₂

1 = reactants, 2 = products

Input the value :

5.85/0.16=V₂/0.15

V₂=5.484 L
