The bond enthalpy of the C―N bond in the amide group of proteins can be treated as an average of C―N (276 kJ/mol) and C═N (615 k

J/mol) bonds. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light needed to break the amide bond.

Answer:

268 nm

Explanation:

First' let's calculate the average bond energy:

(276 + 615)/2 = 445.5 kJ/mol

By Avogadro's number 1 mol = 6.02x10²³ molecule, then the energy necessary to break the amide bond in 1 molecule is:

E = 445.5/6.02x10²³ = 7.4x10⁻²² kJ = 7.4x10⁻¹⁹ J

So, the wavelength of light (λ) can be calculated by:

E= h*c/λ

Where h is the Planck's constant (6.626x10⁻³⁴ J.s), and c is the light speed (3.0x10⁸ m/s).

7.4x10⁻¹⁹ = 6.626x10⁻³⁴ * 3.0x10⁸/λ

λ = 2.68x10⁻⁷ m

λ = 268 nm

A waste collection tank can hold 18754 kg of methanol, which has a density of 0.788 g/cm3.
quester [9]
Given:
Mass of methanol, m = 18754 kg
Density of methanol, ρ = 0.788 g/cm³

By definition, the volume of methanol in the collection tank is
Volume  = mass/density
               = \frac{(18754 \, kg)*(10^{3} \,  \frac{g}{kg}) }{(0.788 \,  \frac{g}{cm^{3})} }  \\ \\ =2.38 \times 10^{7} \,  \frac{g}{cm^{3}}

Answer:  2.38 x 10⁷ g/cm³

Consider this structure, where X and Y represent generic elements. A central Y atom is bonded to two X atoms. What shape would t
Ugo [173]

Answer:

linear

Explanation:

The shape of a molecule is derived from the Valence Shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR). According to the theory, the number electron pairs on the valence shell of the central atom in a molecule determines its shape. This is because, electron pairs in a molecule orient themselves are far apart in space as possible to minimize repulsions between electron pairs. Lone pairs cause more repulsion than bond pairs.

For a molecule XY2 having two bond pairs and no lone pair, the two bond pairs will orient themselves at an angle of 180° from each other, that is, along a straight line. Hence the three dimensional representation of the molecule molecule is linear.
