Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The benzophenone n-Π* triplet T1 without having benzophenone pass through its first singlet stateneeds to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

In the singlet state; the orientation of electrons has the same spin while in the triplet state; the orientation of electrons has the opposite spin.

Explanation of Solution

The reaction between benzophenone and isopropyl alcohol is shown below:

EBK A SMALL SCALE APPROACH TO ORGANIC L, Chapter 54, Problem 1Q , additional homework tip  1

The quantum yield for the given reaction is a unity which states that each molecule of excited benzophenone gives one molecule of benzo pinacol. In the given reaction; fluorescence is not observed, a triplet excited state is involved. n-Π* triplet excited state takes a hydrogen atom from isopropanol.

The mechanism of the given reaction is shown below:

Where,

S0 = singlet ground state

S1 = first singlet excited state

T1 = first triplet excited state

ISC = intersystem crossing

EBK A SMALL SCALE APPROACH TO ORGANIC L, Chapter 54, Problem 1Q , additional homework tip  3

According to the mechanism; it shows that the singlet excited state of benzophenone gores through intersystem crossing to triplet state very readily. Therefore, it is the triplet state that is involved.

Imagine separating this process into the four stages sketched below. (These sketches show only a portion of the substances, so you can see the density and distribution of atoms and molecules in them.) CH,CN H₂O B 88 C Use these sketches to answer the questions in the table below. The enthalpy of solution AH is negative soln when CH3CN dissolves in water. Use this information to list the stages in order of increasing enthalpy. Would heat be absorbed or released if the system moved from Stage C to D? What force would oppose or favor the system moving from Stage C to D? Check all that apply. 1 absorbed O released neither absorbed nor released. none O ionic bonding force covalent bonding force…
In a system with an anodic overpotential, the variation of ŋ as a function of the current density: 1. at low fields is linear 2. at higher fields, it follows Tafel's law Find the range of current densities for which the overpotential has the same value as when calculated for cases 1 and 2 (maximum relative difference of 5% with respect to the behavior for higher fields). To which overpotential range does this correspond? Data: 10 = 1.5 mA cm², T = 300°C, ẞ = 0.64, R = 8.314 J K 1 mol‍¹ and F = 96485 C mol-1.
