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

reak bonds within the molecules. A carbon-sulfur bond requires 272 kJ/mol to break. What is the longest wavelength of radiation with enough energy to break carbon-sulfur bonds

Answer:

439.7nm

Explanation:

Energy of a quantum can be calculated using below formula

E=hv...........eqn(1)

But v=λ/ c .........eqn(2)

If we substitute eqn(2) into eqn(1) we have

E= hc/(λ)

Where E= energy

h= Plank's constant= 6.62607004 × 10-34 m2 kg / s

c= speed of light

c= 2.998 × 10^8 m/s

λ= wavelength= ?

But the energy was given in Kj , it must be converted to Kj/ photon for unit consistency.

Energy E= 272 kJ/mol × 1mol/6.02× 10^23

Energy= 451.83× 10^-24 Kj/ photon

E= hc/(λ)...........eqn(1)

If we make λ subject of the formula

λ= hc/E

Then substitute the values we have

λ= [(6.626 × 10^-34) × (2.998 × 10^8)]/451.83× 10^-24

λ=(0.00043965) × (1Kj/1000J) × (10^9nm/1m)

λ=439.7nm

Hence, the longest wavelength of radiation with enough energy to break carbon-sulfur bonds is 439.7nm

What is the mass of oxygen in 3.34 g of potassium permanganate?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

1.35 g

Explanation:

Data Given:

mass of Potassium Permagnate (KMnO₄) = 3.34 g

Mass of Oxygen: ?

Solution:

First find the percentage composition of Oxygen in Potassium Permagnate (KMnO₄)

So,

Molar Mass of KMnO₄ = 39 + 55 + 4(16)

Molar Mass of KMnO₄ = 158 g/mol

Calculate the mole percent composition of  Oxygen in Potassium Permagnate (KMnO₄).

Mass contributed by Oxygen (O) = 4 (16) = 64 g

Since the percentage of compound is 100

So,

                        Percent of Oxygen (O) = 64 / 158 x 100

                        Percent of Oxygen (O) = 40.5 %

It means that for ever gram of Potassium Permagnate (KMnO₄) there is 0.405 g of Oxygen (O) is present.

So,

for the 3.34 grams of Potassium Permagnate (KMnO₄) the mass of Oxygen will be

                  mass of Oxygen (O) = 0.405 x 3.34 g

                  mass of Oxygen (O) = 1.35 g

A 25 mL sample of 0.100 M HNO3 completely reacts with NaOH according to this equation:
Anastasy [175]
It is a good thing that you already have answered the first question. Now, moving on to the second question, there exist an equation for the neutralization of acid by a base that is shown below,
                                          M₁V₁ = M₂V₂
Now, all the variables in the equation are given except for our unknown which is the V₂. Substituting the known values from the given above,
                                       (0.1 M)(25 mL) = (0.05 M)(V₂)
The value of V₂ from the equation above is 50 mL. Therefore, 50 mL of 0.05 M NaOH solution will be needed to completely react with HNO3.
