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

A car is traveling with an initial velocity of 15 m/s when the driver decides to go faster by accelerating at 5 m/s2 for 10 seco
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer: Time needed: 2.5 s

Distance covered: 31.3 m

Explanation:

I'll start with the distance covered while decelerating. Since you know that the initial speed of the car is 15.0 m/s, and that its final speed must by 10.0 m/s, you can use the known acceleration to determine the distance covered by

 

on one side of the equation and solve by plugging your values

To get the time needed to reach this speed, i.e. 10.0 m/s, you can use the following equation

Which element would you expect to be more metallic?<br> (a) Ca or Rb (b) Mg or Ra (c) Br or I
svlad2 [7]

Explanation:

When we move across a period from left to right then there will occur an increase in electronegativity and also there will occur an increase in non-metallic character of the elements.

As calcium (Ca) is a group 2A element and rubidium (Rb) is a group 1A element. Hence, Rb being an alkali metal is more metallic in nature than calcium (alkaline earth metal).

Both magnesium (Mg) and radium (Ra) are group 2A elements. And, when we move down a group then as the size of element increases so, it becomes easy of the metal atom to lose an electron.

As a result, there occurs an increase in metallic character of the element. Hence, Radium (Ra) is more metallic in nature than magnesium (Mg).

Also, both bromine and iodine are group 17 elements. Since, both of them are non-metals and non-metallic character increases on moving down the group.

Therefore, bromine (Br) is more metallic than iodine.

A graduated cylinder is filled 25.0 mL with water and a piece of granite is placed in the cylinder, displacing the level to 37.2
kvv77 [185]

The volume  of the granite piece  in Cm³  is 12.2 cm³

 <u><em>calculation</em></u>

volume of granite = (volume of cylinder after placing granite - volume  of  cylinder  before  placing  granite

 = 37.2 ml - 25.0 ml = 12.2 ml


convert ml  to Cm³

that is 1 ml = 1 cm³

       12.2 ml =  ? cm³

<em>by cross  multiplication</em>

=(12.2 ml x 1 cm³) / 1 ml = 12.2 cm³
