Chapter 7, Problem 7.154QP
The wave properties of matter can generally be ignored for macroscopic objects such as tennis balls; however, wave properties have been measured at the fringe of detection for some very large molecules. For example, wave patterns were detected for C60(C12F25)8 molecules moving at a velocity of 63 m/s. (a) Calculate the wavelength of a C60(C12F25)8 molecule moving at this velocity. (b) How does the wavelength compare to the size of the molecule given that its diameter is roughly 3000 pm?

- Ozone in the stratosphere absorbs ultraviolet light of wavelengths shorter than 320 nm, thus filtering out the most energetic radiation from sunlight. During this absorption, an ozone molecule absorbs a photon, which breaks an oxygen-oxygen bond, yielding an oxygen molecule and an oxygen atom: O3(g)+hvO2(g)+O(g) (Here, hv denotes a photon.)
