Chapter 12, Problem 28E

X rays have wavelengths on the order of ${\text{1×10}}^{\text{-10}}\text{m}$ .Calculate the energy of $\text{1}{\text{.0×10}}^{\text{-10}}\text{m}$ X rays in units ofkilojoules per mole of X rays. AM radio waves havewavelengths on the order of ${\text{1×10}}^{\text{4}}\text{m}$ . Calculate the energy of $\text{1}{\text{.0×10}}^{\text{4}}\text{m}$ radio waves in units of kilojoulesper mole of radio waves. Consider that the bond energyof a carbon−carbon single bond found in organic compoundsis 347 kJ/mol. Would X rays and/or radio wavesbe able to disrupt organic compounds by breakingcarbon−carbon single bonds?
