SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the absorption of radiation by a carbon-oxygen double bond in organic molecules, specifically at a frequency of 6.0 x 1013 s-1. The wavelength of this radiation is calculated to be 5.0 x 10-6 m. For the energy calculation, the user attempted to apply the equation E = hv, arriving at a photon energy of 3.9 x 10-20 J. However, the user did not complete the calculation for energy per mole of photons.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the relationship between frequency and wavelength in electromagnetic radiation.
  • Familiarity with Planck's equation (E = hv) for calculating photon energy.
  • Knowledge of unit conversions, particularly between meters and molar concentration.
  • Basic grasp of moles and Avogadro's number for energy per mole calculations.
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to calculate energy per mole of photons using the equation E = nEphoton.
  • Study the concept of electromagnetic spectrum and its implications in organic chemistry.
  • Explore the principles of spectroscopy related to molecular bonds and their interactions with radiation.
  • Investigate the applications of carbon-oxygen double bonds in organic compounds and their reactivity.
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, organic chemists, and anyone interested in the interaction of radiation with molecular structures.

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.
