(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The IR absorption frequency of a typical C-D bond is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Carbon-deuterium bond is much like a carbon-hydrogen bond. They have similar stiffness which is measured by the spring constant. Due to the extra neutron, the deuterium atom has approximately twice the mass of a hydrogen atom.

The IR absorption frequency of a bond is proportional to k/m when one of the bonds is heavier than the other.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The functional group that appears to be present in the IR spectrum as a result of the CDCl3 impurity is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Carbon-deuterium bond is much like a carbon-hydrogen bond. They have similar stiffness which is measured by the spring constant. Due to the extra neutron, the deuterium atom has approximately twice the mass of a hydrogen atom.

Bond dissociation energies are often measured by determining the wavelength of ultraviolet photons needed to cause a covalent bond between two atoms to break. A single photon absorbed by a molecule will cause the bond to break between two atoms. If a bond dissociation energy is 450 kJ/mole, what wavelength of photon, in nm, will cause the bond to break?
Activating C-H bonds is a popular research target for chemists, particularly for pharmaceuticals. Older methods used light to initiate the bond breaking. Breaking 1 mole of C-H bonds requires about 413 kJ. What would be minimum frequency of a photon needed to break a single (1) C-H bond? O 103 × 1015 Hz 5.25 × 1015 Hz O 4.98 × 1014 Hz O 8.72 × 1014 Hz х
Carbon-carbon bonds form the “backbone” of nearly everyorganic and biological molecule. The average bond energy of the C−C bond is 347 kJ/mol. Calculate the frequency and wave-length of the least energetic photon that can break an average C−C bond. In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is this radiation?
