Oxidation is the loss of electrons and corresponds to an increase in oxidation state. Reduction is the gain of electrons and corresponds to a decrease in oxidation state. Balancing redox reactions can be more complicated than balancing other types of reactions because both the mass and charge must be balanced. Redox reactions occurring in aqueous solutions can be balanced by using a special procedure called the half-reaction method of balancing. In this procedure the overall equation is broken down into two half-reactions: one for oxidation and the other for reduction. The half-reactions are balanced individually and then added together so that the number of electrons generated in the oxidation half reaction is the same as the number of electrons consumed in the reduction half-reaction.
We first calculate the energy contained in one photon of this light using Planck's equation:
E = hc/λ
E = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸ / 590 x 10⁻⁹
E = 3.37 x 10⁻²² kJ/photon
Now, one mole of atoms will excite one mole of photons. This means that 6.02 x 10²³ photons will be excited
(3.37 x 10⁻²² kJ/photon) x (6.02 x 10²³ photons / mol)
The energy released will be 202.87 kJ/mol
Answer:
2–methylpropene.
Explanation:
To successfully name the compound given in the question, we must observe the following:
1. Determine the functional group of the compound.
2. Locate the longest continuous carbon chain. This gives the parent name of the compound.
3. Identify the substituent group attached and locate it's position by giving it the lowest possible count.
4. Combine the above to obtain the name of the compound.
Now, let us determine the name of the compound. This is illustrated below:
1. The functional group of the compound is the double bond i.e the compound is an alkene.
2. The longest continuous carbon chain is 3 i.e propene since it is an alkene.
3. The substituent group attached is methyl i.e CH3. In this case, we'll start counting from the side of the double bond being the functional group. Therefore, the methyl group i.e CH3 is at carbon 2.
4. Therefore, the name of the compound is:
2–methylpropene
There are 5 significant figures in this number because the zero counts and it comes after a number and on the right of the decimal point
