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

Answer:

B: Physical Science

Explanation:

The answer is physical science because you need to know the laws of physics and chemistry to know how a car works. Physical sciences = the sciences concerned with the study of inanimate natural objects, including physics, chemistry, astronomy, and related subjects.

Graph of the relationship between mass and thermal energy
elixir [45]

<em>Thermal energy</em> is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all the particles in an object.

Assume that you have 250 gL of water and 1 kg of water at the same temperature.

Then, each water molecule has the same kinetic energy.

The larger sample contains four times as many molecules, so it contains four times as much thermal energy.

Thus, thermal energy is directly proportional to mass.

In symbols, <em>KE </em>∝ <em>m</em> or <em>KE = km</em>.

The graph of a direct proportion is a <em>straight line passing trough the origin</em>.

It should look something like the graph below.

Delvig [45]

if da ceiling in a square that means it has four sides. If each side is 39 feet and there are four sides you would multiply 39 times 4 which equals 156. If one can of paint can cover 169 ft.² and the ceiling is only 156 ft.² then you would only need 1 CAN OF PAINT.
