Retinal is a T-conjugatedmolecule which absorbs light in the blue-greenregion of the visible spectrum, where photonabsorption represents the first step in the visualprocess. Absorption of a photon results in retinalundergoing a transition from the ground- or lowest-energy state of the molecule to the first electronicexcited state. Therefore, the wavelength of lightabsorbed by rhodopsin provides a measure of theground and excited-state energy gap.Part AThe absorption spectrum of rhodopsin iscentered at roughly 500. nm.

In a hydrogen-oxygen flame, the atomic absorption signal for iron was found to decrease in the presence of high concentrations of sulfate. Suggest an explanation for this observation and propose one possible method for overcoming the potential interference of sulfate in the quantitative determination of iron.

(Slightly modified McQuarrie 5-41) Many quantum vibrational states are available to molecules. This raises the question: In what vibrational states are molecules actually found? Using sta- tistical mechanics, one can show (see McQuarrie 5-40 if you are interested) that the fraction of molecules in the n-th state is given by: fn = (1-e-hv/kBT) e -nhv/kBT where kB is the Boltzmann constant, kg = 1.380658 × 10-23 J/K. Compute the occupancy of the n=0, 1 and 2 states at 300 K and 1500 K for a "typical" harmonic frequency, we = 2650 cm-1. For practical purposes, what vibrational state is a typical molecule found in?

The compound α-tocopherol, a form of vitamin E, is a powerful antioxidant that may help to maintain the integrity of biological membranes. R.H. Bisby and A.W. Parker (J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 117, 5664 (1995)) studied the reaction of photochemically excited duroquinone with the antioxidant in ethanol. Once the duroquinone was photochemically excited, a bimolecular reaction took place at diffusion-limited rate. (a) Estimate the rate constant for a diffusion-limited reaction in ethanol. (b) The reported rate constant was 2.77 × 109 dm3 mol−1 s−1. Estimate the critical reaction distance if the sum of diffusion coefficients is 1 × 10−9 m2 s−1.
