(a)
Interpretation:
Out of the two distances between two nitrogen atoms, 50 pm or 75 pm, it is to be determined which one represents higher energy.
Concept introduction:
The energy of the molecule depends on the distance between the two atoms. At a certain distance, called the bond length, the energy reaches a minimum. As the distance between the two atoms increases, the energy of the molecule increases and slowly approaches a constant value as the distance increases to infinity. At distances shorter than the bond length, the energy increases very rapidly.
(b)
Interpretation:
Out of the two distances between two nitrogen atoms, 75 pm or 110 pm, it is to be determined which one represents higher energy.
Concept introduction:
The energy of the molecule depends on the distance between the two atoms. At a certain distance, called the bond length, the energy reaches a minimum. As the distance between the two atoms increases, the energy of the molecule increases and slowly approaches a constant value as the distance increases to infinity. At distances shorter than the bond length, the energy increases very rapidly.
(c)
Interpretation:
Out of the two distances between two nitrogen atoms, 110 pm or 150 pm, it is to be determined which one represents higher energy.
Concept introduction:
The energy of the molecule depends on the distance between the two atoms. At a certain distance, called the bond length, the energy reaches a minimum.

- Using a cell of known pathlength b = 1.25115 x 10-3 cm, a water absorption spectrum was measured. The band at 1645 cm-1, assigned to the O-H bending, showed an absorbance, A, of 1.40. a) Assuming that water density is 1.00 g/mL, calculate the water molar concentration c (hint: M= mole/L) b) Calculate the molar absorptivity, a, of the 1645 cm-1 band c) The transmitted light, I, can be written as I= Ioexp(-xb), where x is the absorption coefficient (sometimes designated as alpha), Io is the input light, and b is the cell pathlength. Prove that x= (ln10)*x*c.
