Chapter 7, Problem 82E

cis-2-Butene isomerizes (changes its structure) to trans-2-butene via the reaction:

  1. If isomerization requires breaking the pi bond, what minimum energy is required for isomerization in J/mol? In J/molecule?
  2. If the energy for isomerization comes from light, what minimum frequency of light is required? In what portion of the electromagnetic spectrum does this frequency lie?

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?
These UV photons can break chemical bonds in your skin to cause sunburn- a form of radiation damage. If the 330 nm radiation provides exactly the energy to break an average chemical bond in the skin, estimate the average energy of these bonds in kJ/mol.
In trichlorofluoromethane refrigerant (CCl3F, also known as Freon-11, R-11, or CFC-11), there are 3 C-Cl bonds. When these are photochemically broken by solar radiation in the stratosphere, free Cl atoms produced can catalytically destroy ozone, O3. If the C-Cl bond energy is 331 kJ/mol, calculate the energy in J to break one C-Cl bond, the frequency of light that corresponds to this photon energy, and the wavelength in nm of this light. What do we call light in this wavelength region? (visible, UV, IR, etc)
