Question
Sulfur hexafluoride SF6 is the most potent greenhouse gas to date. It is 22,800 times more effective at trapping heat than carbon dioxide (CO2), and lasts in the atmosphere for thousands of years. Please refer to the molecule diagrams below to answer the following questions:

a. Explain why SF6 has more asymmetrical vibrations than CO2
b. Explain why asymmetrical vibrations in SF6 bonds are stronger than asymmetrical vibrations in CO2 bonds
c. Explain the relationship between strength and quantity of asymmetrical vibrations and greenhouse gas potency

- The amount of UVA radiation hitting a surface at sea level in a lightly clouded day isabout 70W/m2. About half of that can be absorbed by the skin. A typical carbon-carbon bond requires 348 kJ/mol to break. A person lies on the beach for about 1hour without sunscreen (i.e. fully exposed to UVA radiation). Estimate the numberof C-C bonds broken in this person’s back (about 0.18 m2) over that period. Assumethat the average wavelength of UVA is 335 nm.arrow_forward3.
