AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the wavelength and energy of radiation absorbed by a carbon-oxygen double bond with a frequency of 6.0 x 10^13 s^-1. The wavelength is correctly identified as 5.0 x 10^-6 m. For energy calculations, the user attempted to use the equation E = hv but expressed uncertainty in deriving the energy per mole of photons. Clarification on units is emphasized, noting that "M" should refer to meters instead of molar concentration. Accurate calculations and unit representation are crucial for understanding the energy of radiation in this context.

Homework Statement


A carbon-Oxegen double bond in certain organic molecules absorbs radiation that has a frequency of 6.0 x 10^13 s^-1

A. What is the wavelength of this radiation?
B. What is the energy of this radiation per photon? per mole of photons?

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



for A I got

5.0 x 10 ^-6 M

for B I just don't know how to do it

I tried using E = hv, and I got 3.9 x 10 ^-20

Please.
 
Show units in your answers, 3.9x10-20 means nothing.

M is a molar concentration, I suppose you meant m for meters. If so, you are right in A.

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...

Thread 'How to find the pH of a galvanic cell (MIT OCW problem set)'

This is the final problem in this problem set from MIT OCW. Here is what I did to try to solve it The table cited in the problem is below We can easily spot the two redox couples that are in the electrochemical cell we are given. The hydrogen-based electrode has standard potential zero, and the silver-based electrode has standard potential 0.22. Thus, the hydrogen electrode, with the lower potential, is the reducing agent (ie, it is where oxidation happens) and is the anode. Electrons...
