Interpretation: The wavelength of the radiation with sufficient energy to break
Concept introduction:
Electromagnetic radiations are a type of energy surrounding us. They are of different types like radio waves, IR, UV, X-ray etc.
Ultraviolet radiation lies between
Energy associated with a radiation,
Answer to Problem 35GQ
The wavelength of the radiation is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
From the table 8.8, the average bond energy of
In-order to find the wavelength of the radiation we can use the equation
Substituting the values
The wavelength of the radiation is
Therefore wavelength of the radiation in meter is calculated by multiplying the answer with
This wavelength corresponds to ultraviolet region in the electromagnetic spectrum.

- 1. First, 0.9144 grams of the material was placed into an evacuated 0.500 L container. The temperature was raised to 600.0 K, and the resulting pressure was 1.00 atm. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown material? 2. Next, the molecule was subjected to a series of structural tests to determine bond energies. Some of the bonds within the molecule were determined to have a bond energy of 467 kJ/mol. Which of the molecules below is the most likely structure of the unknown material?

- Draw the Lewis Structure of CCL4. Are the C - Cl bonds polar or nonpolar and why?arrow_forwardCalcium carbide, CaC2, reacts with water to form acetylene, C2H2, and calcium hydroxide. Write a balanced equation for this reaction. (You do not need to write the states.) If you were designing the procedure for producing acetylene from calcium carbide and water, which of the reactants would you have as the limiting reactant? Why? Assuming 100% yield from the limiting reactant, what are the approximate amounts of CaC2 and water that you would combine to form 127 g of C2H2?arrow_forwardThe average bond enthalpy for C−H is 413 kJ/mol. 413 kJ of energy is required to break a mole of CH into atoms: CH(g)→C(g)+H(g), ΔH=413 kJ Using this information, and your answer from Part A, calculate the enthalpy change of the reaction from Part B. That is, calculate the energy required to break only the carbon-carbon bonds in benzene. PART A ANSWER ΔH∘rxn = 5535.1 kJ.. PART B ANSWER C6H6(g)→6CH(g)arrow_forward
- For this experiment, you used 0.25 g of sodium bicarbonate, which is a relatively small mass of solid. Identify the potential consequences of using a much larger mass of sodium bicarbonate. The flask could explode. The heat of the reaction might cause boiling. The reaction would not occur. The stopper of the flask could pop off. The temperature of the reaction would decrease significantly.arrow_forward2. Sulphur reacts with oxygen to form sulphur trioxide through sulphur monoxide and sulphur dioxide.
