Question

Aspirin has a conjugated (pi) system and can be treated using the particle in a box model.
A. Assuming the box has a length of 300 pm ( 1 pm = 10^-12 m) and contains 4 electrons. Calculate the lowest energy electronic transition ΔE from n=1 --> n =2.

B. If the electron moves at 2000 km/s, what is the de brolgie wavelentgh?

 

C. should this system be treated using quantum mechanics? Justify using de broglie wavelength.
