What wavelength is the peak absorbance of CoCl2?
Fill in the following blanks. As the dye concentration increases, the absorbance of the light [linearly increases, linearly decreases, exponentially increases or exponentially decreases]. The dye concentration units are [molar (M), millimolar (mM) or grams per liter (g/L)] . Although most people wrongly conclude that absorbance has units nm, in fact, absorbance is unitless. This is because it results from a ratio of light through a colored sample relative to light intensity through a clear (blank) sample. The units for the slope of the graph would be [mM, 1/mM or nm] . Hint: the slope is the change in y values divided by the change in x values. The units for the y-intercept of the graph would be [nm, nM or unitless] . The value for the slope of the line that describes the absorbance data is [6.4597 or 0.0008] The value for the y-intercept of the line that describes the absorbance data is [6.4597 or 0.0008] .
The structure of the molecule cyclohexene is Does the absorption of ultraviolet light by cyclohexene occur at longer or at shorter wavelengths than the absorption by benzene? Explain.
Chlorophyll absorbs photons strongly in two bands, one between 340 and 450 nm and the other between 650 and 680 nm. Chlorophyll collects and transfers the photon energy to fix CO2 into carbohydrate CH2O units according to CO2 + H2O → (CH2O) + O2 where the (CH2O) indicates one carbon unit of the carbohydrate. The average enthalpy change for the addition of a carbon unit to a carbohydrate is ΔH = 485 kJ/mol. What is the minimum number of 660 nm photons needed by chlorophyll to add a carbon unit to a carbohydrate? (Remember that there’s no such thing as a partial photon.)

Infrared spectroscopy is often used to determine the presence of a carbonyl group in a compound. It is a strong band that appears at approximately 1700 cm in aldehydes,ketones and carboxylic acids and their derivatives. A carboxylic acid will show another stretch band of carbon bound oxygen in one respect to the others:a.) lower frequencyb.) higher frequencyc.) frequency in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum d.) electromagneticsimilar frequency
