Linear, triatomic CO2vibrates by symmetric stretch, bend, and asymmetric stretch with frequencies of 4.02×1013s-1, 2.00×1013s-1and 7.05×1013s-1 respectively.

  1. In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum are these frequencies?
  2. calculate the energy (in J) of each vibration. Which takes the least energy?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The region of the electromagnetic spectrum for these frequencies is the IR region.
  2. 2.00×1013s-1takes the least energy.

Step by step solution

01

region of the electromagnetic spectrum

From given frequencies, we can calculate the wavelength of each frequency by the formula ν=cλ. whereλis called wavelength,νis called frequency, and c is called speed of light.

Since

For frequency

4.02×1013s-1

ν=cλλ=3×108m/s4.02×1013s-1=7.463×10-6m=7463nm

wavenumber(cm-1)=107wavelength(nm)=1077463nm=1339.94cm-1

For frequency 2.00×1013s-1

ν=cλλ=3×108m/s2.00×1013s-1=1.5×10-5m=15000nm

wavenumber(cm-1)=107wavelength(nm)=10715000nm=666.67cm-1

For frequency 7.05×1013s-1

ν=cλλ=3×108m/s7.05×1013s-1=4.255×10-6m=4225nm

wavenumber(cm-1)=107wavelength(nm)=1074225nm=2366.86cm-1

Since, the range of IR region of electromagnetic radiation is 600- 4000cm-1. So, vibrational motions have frequencies in IR region of electromagnetic spectrum. As a result, the indicated frequencies exist in the IR area.

02

energy of each frequency

Calculate the energy of each frequency by using the formulaE=³óν

For frequency4.02×1013s-1

E1=6.626×10-34J.s×4.02×1013s-1=2.663×10-20J

For frequency 2.00×1013s-1

E2=6.626×10-34J.s×2.00×1013s-1=1.3252 ×10-20J

For frequency 7.05×1013s-1

E3=6.626×10-34J.s×7.05×1013s-1=4.671 ×10-20J

From the calculations it is clear that 2.00×1013s-1 has least energy.

What would be the formula for the simplest compound formed from (a) phosphorus and chlorine, (b) carbon and fluorine, and (c) iodine and chlorine?

Use Figure 9.20, p. 364, to indicate the polarity of each bond with a polar arrow:

(a) N-B

(b) N-O

(c) C-S

(d) S-O

(e) N-H

(f) Cl-O

Heats of reaction calculated from bond energies and from heats of formation are often, but not always, close to each other.

a) Industrial ethanol (CH3CH2OH ) is produce by a catalytic reaction of ethylene (H2C=CH2 ) with water at high pressure and temperatures. CalculateΔ±áorx for this gas-phase hydration of ethylene to ethanol, using bond energies and then using heats of formation.

b) ethylene glycol is produced by the catalytic oxidation of ethylene to ethylene oxide, which then reacts with water to form ethylene glycol:

The Δ±áorx for this hydrolysis step, based on heat of formation, is -97kJ/mol. Calculate Δ±áorx for the hydrolysis using bond energies.

c) why are two values relatively close for the hydration in part (a) but not close for the hydrolysis in part(b).

The HF bond length is 92pm, 16% shorter than the sum of the covalent radii of H (37pm) and F(72pm). Suggest a reason for this difference. Similar calculations show that the difference becomes smaller down to the group from HF and HI. Explain

The average C-H bond energy in CH4 is 415kJ/mol. Use table 9.2(p. 353) and the following to calculate the average C-H bond energy in ethane(C2H6;C-C bond), in ethene (C2H4;C=C bond), and ethyne (C2H2;C≡C):
