5. The reason there is danger in exposure to high-energy radiation (e.g., ultraviolet and X rays) is that the radiation can rupture chemical bonds. In some cases, cancer can be caused it. A carbon-carbon single bond has a bond energy of approximately 348 kJ per mole. What wavelength of light is required to provide sufficient energy to break the C-C bond? In which region of the electromagnetic spectrum is this wavelength located?

The amount of UVA radiation hitting a surface at sea level in a lightly clouded day is about 70W/m2 . About half of that can be absorbed by the skin. A typical carboncarbon bond requires 348 kJ/mol to break. A person lies on the beach for about 1 hour without sunscreen (i.e. fully exposed to UVA radiation). Estimate the number of C-C bonds broken in this person’s back (about 0.18 m2 ) over that period. Assume that the average wavelength of UVA is 335 nm.

It takes 151./kJmol to break an iodine-iodine single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which an iodine-iodine single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
Combustion reactions involve reacting a substance with oxygen. When compounds containing carbon and hydrogen are combusted, carbon dioxide and water are the products. Using the enthalpies of combustion for C₂H₂ (-1300. kJ/mol), C₂H6 (-1560. kJ/mol), and H₂ (-286 kJ/mol), calculate AH for the reaction C₂H₂(g) + 2H₂(g) → C₂H6 (9) ΔΗ - Submit Answer Try Another Version Titem attempt remaining Cengage Learning Cengage Technical Support Previous Next> Email Instructor Save and Exit
