Chapter 4.6, Problem 4.17YT
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Ozone absorbs UV radiation of wavelengths less than 320 nm, while oxygen requires higher – energy electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths less than 242 nm. This difference of absorbtion by these two molecules has to be explained with the help of bond energies and resonance strutures of ozone.

Concept Introduction:

Electromagnetic spectrum is a range of all types of electromagnetic radiation.

Chemistry in Context, Chapter 4.6, Problem 4.17YT

Radiant energy emitted by all matter whose temperature is greater than absolute zero

(0oK).

Radiant energy with short wavelength (higher frequency) will have the most energy and as the wavelength get longer, the energy decreases.

Bond dissociation enthalpy:

Bond energy or more correctly the bond dissociation enthalpy is the enthalpy change when breaking a bond in a molecule with the reactant and products in the gas phase.

ΔrH0=ΣΔH(bondsbroken)ΣΔH(bondsformed)

Resonance structures: when a single Lewis structure does not adequately represent a substance, the true structure is intermediate between two or more structures which are called resonance structures and these structures are created by moving electrons, not atoms.

In the Thermo Fisher application note about wine analysis (Lesson 3), the following chromatogram was collected of nine components of wine. If peak 3 has a retention time of 3.15 minutes and a peak width of 0.070 minutes, and peak 4 has a retention time of 3.24 minutes and a peak width of 0.075 minutes, what is the resolution factor between the two peaks?
