Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- Consider burning ethane gas, C2H6 in oxygen (combustion) forming CO2 and water. (a) How much energy (in J) is produced in the combustion of one molecule of ethane? (b) What is the energy of a photon of ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 12.6 nm? (c) Compare your answers for (a) and (b).arrow_forwardWhat are quantum numbers? What information do we get from the quantum numbers n, l, and ml? We define a spin quantum number (ms), but do we know that an electron literally spins?arrow_forward6.17 The laser in most supermarket barcode scanners operates at a wavelength of 632.8 nm. What is the energy of a single photon emitted by such a laser? What is the energy of one mole of these photons?arrow_forward
- The ionization energy of rubidium is 403 kJ/mol. Do x-rays with a wavelength of 85 nm have sufficient energy to ionize rubidium?arrow_forwardOzone in the stratosphere absorbs ultraviolet light of wavelengths shorter than 320 nm, thus filtering out the most energetic radiation from sunlight. During this absorption, an ozone molecule absorbs a photon, which breaks an oxygen-oxygen bond, yielding an oxygen molecule and an oxygen atom: O3(g)+hvO2(g)+O(g) (Here, hv denotes a photon.) Suppose a flask of ozone is irradiated with a pulse of UV light of wavelength 275 nm. Assuming that each photon of this pulse that is absorbed breaks up one ozone molecule, calculate the energy absorbed per mole of O2 produced, giving the answer in kJ/mol.arrow_forward6.101 Laser welding is a technique in which a tightly focused laser beam is used to deposit enough energy to weld metal parts together. Because the entire process can be automated, it is commonly used in many large-scale industries, including the manufacture of automobiles. In order to achieve the desired weld quality, the steel parts being joined must absorb energy at a rate of about 104 W/mm2. (Recall that 1 W = 1 J/s.) A particular laser welding system employs a Nd:YAG laser operating at a wavelength of 1.06m ; at this wavelength steel will absorb about 80% of the incident photons. If the laser beam is focused to illuminate a circular spot with a diameter of 0.02 inch, what is the minimum power (in watts) that the laser must emit to reach the 104 W/mm2 threshold? How many photons per second does this correspond to? (For simplicity, assume that the energy from the laser does not penetrate into the metal to any significant depth.)arrow_forward
