It takes 412. KJ/mol to break a carbon-hydrogen single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-hydrogen single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon. Round your answer to significant digits.

The maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-hydrogen single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon = 290 nm

Explanation:

                  So to break a single C - H bond require =

                           = 6.84 x 10⁻¹⁹ joule

Find the wavelength of a photon we use E = hν

                                                             ⇒    E =

                   Where h = Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.K⁻¹.Mole⁻¹

                               c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/sec

                                                           Wavelength =

                                                                                 = 2.9 x 10⁻⁷ m

                                                                                 = 290 nm

                                           ∵ 1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

chemistry sucks a**

explanation:

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
