X rays have wavelengths on the order of 1 3 10210 m. Calculate the energy of 1.0 3 10210 m X rays in units of kilojoules per mole of X rays. AM radio waves have wavelengths on the order of 1 3 104 m. Calculate the energy of 1.0 3 104 m radio waves in units of kilojoules per mole of radio waves. Consider that the bond energy of a carboncarbon single bond found in organic compounds is 347 kJ/mol. Would X rays and/or radio waves be able to disrupt organic compounds by breaking carboncarbon single bonds?
OrganicChemistry 2Week 12 Important Information: Professor’s Email: jsal@utep.edu Class Website: organic.utep.edu/courses/2325 Class Code (E-book): utep2325spring2016 Includes examples of the Homework! Posted the week before the homework’s are due to help everyone get 100’s! L23 In this first one you can tell, the double bond has been removed and an OH group is now on the third carbon. In most of the examples the double bond is being removed and another group is replacing it, in this example the METHYL from the simethylcuprate is the replacin
