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.
The wavelength of the radiation with sufficient energy to break

- Use bond energies to estimate E for the combustion of one mole of acetylene: C2H2(g)+52O2(g)2CO2(g)+H2O(g)arrow_forwardA commercial process for preparing ethanol (ethyl alcohol), C2H5OH, consists of passing ethylene gas. C2H4, and steam over an acid catalyst (to speed up the reaction). The gas-phase reaction is Use bond enthalpies (Table 9.5) to estimate the enthalpy change for this reaction when 37.0 g of ethyl alcohol is produced.arrow_forwardUsing the standard enthalpy of formation data in Appendix G, calculate the bond energy of the carbon-sulfur double bond in CS2.arrow_forward
