Chapter 2, Problem 48E
X rays have wavelengths on the order of 1 × 10−10 m. Calculate the energy of 1.0 × 10−10 m X rays in units of kilojoules per mole of X rays. (1 mol X rays= 6.022 × 1023 X rays.)AM radio waves have wavelengths on the order of 1 × 104 m. Calculate the energy of 1.0 × 104 m radio waves in units of kilojoules per mole of radio waves. Consider that the bond energy of a carbon-carbon single bond found in organic compounds is 347 kJ/mol. Would X rays and/or radio waves be able to disrupt organic compounds by breaking carbon-carbon single bonds?
