Q21.1
What is the wavenumber and frequency of a 450-nm photon? How does the energy of 450-nm light compare to the energy used to overcome activation barriers in chemical reactions (i.e., thermal energy \(k_bT\)) at room temperature?
Convert the following absorbance of a sample to percent transmittance: (a) 0.0, (b) 0.12, and (c) 0%.
Q21.3
An excited molecule has an average lifetime of \(2.0 \times 10^{-8} \ seconds\), and the radiation emission is 600 nm. Find the frequency and wavelength uncertainties.
Q21.4
What is the concentration of a lysozyme solution if a 1.0-cm wide cuvette containing the solution transmits 25% of λ = 280 nm (UV) light? The molar extinction coefficient for lysozyme at 280 nm is 26.4 L mol-1cm-1.
Q21.5
The Doppler effect results in a shift in the wavelength of a star in astronomic meaurements, but only to a broadening of a transition in a gas; why?
Q21.6
Which of these transitions are possible for the electronic absorption of an atom or molecule?
- A 1s electron in hydrogen is promoted to the 2p orbital
- A 1s electron in hydrogen is promoted to the 3d orbital
- A 2s electron in hydrogen is promoted to the 3d orbital
- An electron with the quantum numbers (\(n=2\), \(l=1\), \(m_l=1\) and \(m_s=+1/2\) in hydrogen is demoted (e.g., via the emission of a photon) to a wavefucntion with the quantum numbers (\(n=1\), \(l=0\), \(m_l=0\) and \(m_s=+1/2\).
- An electron with the quantum numbers (\(n=2\), \(l=1\), \(m_l=1\) and \(m_s=+1/2\) in hydrogen is demoted (e.g., via the emission of a photon) to a wavefucntion with the quantum numbers (\(n=1\), \(l=0\), \(m_l=0\) and \(m_s=+1/2\).
