(b)
Interpretation: The difference in the bond enthalpies for the pi and the sigma bond has to be accounted.
Concept Introduction:
Bond enthalpy is the amount of energy required to break one mole of a particular type of bond. Hence, bond enthalpy decides the bond strength.
Trends of bond enthalpy:
The larger bond enthalpy value for a type of bond means that the bond requires more energy for breaking it which implies that the particular bond is being a strong bond. Whereas the smaller bond enthalpy value for a type of bond means that the bond requires less energy for breaking it which implies that the particular bond is being a weak bond.
(b)

Explanation of Solution
The bond enthalpy for the sigma bond is given as
The bond enthalpy for the pi bond is given as
Clearly, the bond enthalpy value of sigma bond is being higher than that of the pi bond. This difference in the bond enthalpy implies the difference in the bond strength. From this information it can be concluded that sigma bond is stronger bond whereas pi-bond is weaker bond. It is known that sigma bond is formed by end-to-end overlap whereas pi-bond is formed by sideways overlap. The extent of the sideways overlap is less than the end-to-end overlap. Hence, pi-bond is weaker than the sigma bond.

Answer to Problem 10.92SP
The longest wavelength of light that is needed for the isomeric conversion of 1,2-dichloroethylene is
Explanation of Solution
For the conversion from cis- to trans-form in 1,2-dichloroethylene, it is known that only the breaking of pi-bond brings the conversion. The bond enthalpy value of pi-bond is the amount of energy required to break the pi-bond. The bond enthalpy value of pi-bond is
Converting the bond enthalpy value from
Converting the bond enthalpy value from
This is the energy required to for the conversion of cis-to trans-form in one molecule. The wavelength corresponding to this energy can be calculated using the formula as follows:
Substituting all the known values in the formula and evaluating it:
Converting the wavelength from meter into nanometre:
Therefore,
The longest wavelength of light that is needed for the isomeric conversion of 1,2-dichloroethylene, has been calculated.

- What is the stepwise mechanism for this reaction?arrow_forward32. Consider a two-state system in which the low energy level is 300 J mol 1 and the higher energy level is 800 J mol 1, and the temperature is 300 K. Find the population of each level. Hint: Pay attention to your units. A. What is the partition function for this system? B. What are the populations of each level? Now instead, consider a system with energy levels of 0 J mol C. Now what is the partition function? D. And what are the populations of the two levels? E. Finally, repeat the second calculation at 500 K. and 500 J mol 1 at 300 K. F. What do you notice about the populations as you increase the temperature? At what temperature would you expect the states to have equal populations?arrow_forward30. We will derive the forms of the molecular partition functions for atoms and molecules shortly in class, but the partition function that describes the translational and rotational motion of a homonuclear diatomic molecule is given by Itrans (V,T) = = 2πmkBT h² V grot (T) 4π²IKBT h² Where h is Planck's constant and I is molecular moment of inertia. The overall partition function is qmolec Qtrans qrot. Find the energy, enthalpy, entropy, and Helmholtz free energy for the translational and rotational modes of 1 mole of oxygen molecules and 1 mole of iodine molecules at 50 K and at 300 K and with a volume of 1 m³.
