Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 91IL

A paper published in the research Journal Science in 2007 (S. Vallina and R. Simo, Science, Vol. 315, p. 506, January 26, 2007) reported studies of dimethylsulfide (DMS), an important green-house gas that is released by marine phytoplankton. This gas “represents the largest natural source of atmospheric sulfur and a major precursor of hygroscopic (i.e., cloud-forming) particles in clean air over the remote oceans, thereby acting to reduce the amount of solar radiation that crosses the atmosphere and is absorbed by the ocean.”

  1. (a) Sketch the Lewis structure of dimethylsulfide, CH3SCH3, and list the bond angles in the molecule.
  2. (b) Use electronegativities to decide where the positive and negative charges lie in the molecule. Is the molecule polar?
  3. (c) The mean seawater concentration of DMS in the ocean in the region between 15° north latitude and 15° south latitude is 2.7 nM (nanomolar). How many molecules of DMS are present in 1.0 m3 of seawater?

Consider hypothetical elements X2 and Y2. Suppose the enthalpy of formation of the compound XY is – 84 kJ/mol, the bond energy for X2 is 105 kJ/mol, and the bond energy for Y2 is 58 kJ/mol.  A)Estimate the XY bond energy, Ed, in units of kJ/mol. B)If the dissociation of a X-Y molecule were accomplished by the absorption of a single photon whose energy was exactly the quantity required, what would be its wavelength in nm? C)Would a green-light photon (λgreen=550 nm) be able to break the above X-Y bond? Explain.
