Sunscreen contains compounds that absorb ultraviolet light. When sunscreen is applied to skin, it prevents ultraviolet light from reach- ing the skin. The graph that follows shows the absorbance of light as a function of wavelength for two different compounds (2-EHMC and TDSA) common in sunscreen. Absorbance is a measure of the amount of light absorbed by the compound-the higher the absor- bance, the more light is absorbed.

Coal is a form of carbon that serves as fuel to generate heat or electricity. Incomplete combustion of carbon in coal (at low oxygen concentrations) leads to carbon monoxide (2 C + O2 --> 2 CO). Complete combustion of carbon results in carbon dioxide (C + O2 --> CO2). Using this information and the periodic table of the elements, draw a schematic of the reactions between oxygen and carbon.
