Chapter 15, Problem 15.58P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

It is to be explained why there is a difference between the λmax values of an organic product’s UV-vis spectrum when the reaction involves two different bases.

Concept introduction:

An alkyl halide, when heated in the presence of a strong base such as sodium hydroxide, undergoes an elimination reaction to yield an alkene via an E2 elimination reaction. Sodium hydroxide is a strong and less bulky base, which abstracts the proton attached to the most substituted alpha carbon atom of the alkyl halide. The maximum substituted alkene is the major product of this reaction.

If Lithiumdiisopropylamide (LDA), a strong but bulky base, is used instead of NaOH, it will selectively abstract the proton attached to the least substituted alpha carbon atom of the alkyl halide. The minimum substituted alkene is the major product of this reaction.

In UV-vis spectroscopy, absorption of a photon promotes an electron from a lower-energy MO to a higher-energy MO. The λmax for the longest-wavelength absorption in the spectrum corresponds to the HOMO-LUMO. Conjugation decreases the energy difference between the HOMO-LUMO and thus increases the wavelength of the photon absorbed.

Unfortunately, carbon monoxide was not a common molecule when hemoglobin evolved, and the binding site does not distinguish between Oz and Co. When carbon monoxide is present, it can bind to some of the available hemoglobin sites, which prevents the hemoglobin from carrying oxygen. Fo* Fe* Fe* B. CO binds at an absorption site with energy €co = -3.45 × 10-20 J. Suppose there is a 1 to 100 ratio of CO to O2 present in the blood. For simplicity's sake, assume there are now 100 Oz molecules available to bind. 1. What are the possible states now, and what are their multiplicities?
Specific absorbance is the absorbance of a 1% solution of a given substance. The specific absorbance can be calculated by: A 1% ст C(i % , For the identification of a substance, 0.0482 g of substance has been weighed, which has been dissolved in 50.00 ml of demineralized water.
