6.103 Atomic absorption spectroscopy is based on the atomic spectra of the elements being studied. It can be used to determine the impurities in a metal sample. If an element is present, light at the appropriate wavelength is absorbed. You are working with a metal stamping company and the rolled steel you use to form panels for automobile doors is failing at an alarming rate. There is some chance that the problem is unacceptably high levels of manganese in the steel. Given that the atomic spectrum of manganese has three lines near 403 nm, how could you use a spectrometer to determine the amount of manganese in the steel?
Chapter 3 introduced the concept of a double bond between carbon atoms, represented by C=C , with a length near 1.34 Å.

Calculate the wavelength of light necessary to excite the electron from its ground state to the first excited state.

Ozone 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.
