Chem Exam 3

What is meant by the term electromagnetic radiation and what are its (physical) properties?

Waves and light are considered electromagnetic radiations. Electromagnetic radiations physical properties are dependant on wavelengths and frequencies. This is known as the electromagnetic spectrum. It includes gamma rays, x rays, far ultra-violet, near ultra violet, visible, near infrared, far infrared, microwaves, radio waves, and radar.

A wave is constituted by its frequency and wavelength. Wave length is represented by lambda. Lambda is the exactly the distance between to points, or peaks on the wave.

Wavelength is calculated using nanometers. (1 nm = 10-9 m) See example, 7.2 pg. 267--Heather, this is why you use 10-9!

Frequency is how many times a wave passes a point during a second. See figure 7.4 for a simple explanation of wave length and frequency, and to see how they relate.

Important Calculation:

When asked to calculate wavelength use below formula:
Lambda (distance)=c (speed of light constant 3.00 x 108 m/s)/v (frequency)

When asked to calculate frequency use below formula:
V (frequency)=c (speed of light constant)/lambda (distance)












Our desire is to learn something more about the atom and atomic structure. In chapter 2 we learned about Dalton's Atomic Theory (the atomic nature of matter). The nuclear theory of the atom had us to understand that the atom has a compact nucleus and is largely empty space containing the electrons outside of the nucleus. Describe what is happening in figures 7.1 and 7.2. What kind(s) of information are figures 7.1 and 7.2 providing? What kind(s) of information are figures 7.3-7.5 providing? In figure 7.4 the top wave has a frequency of 2 Hertz. What does that mean and how would I be able to determine that from the figure?
Further study: problems 7.35-7.38

In figure 7.1 a “wire loop” is placed into a flame. Depending on the placement of the wire loop the light emitted from the flame is different. In the first picture the loop is placed horizontal and close to the gas apparatus. The metal element releases the atoms in gas form and show the element and its particular color. For example, the first picture in 7.1 is lithium, which produced a red color, and a blue color for the gas. In the second picture, the wire loop was moved vertically and higher up, producing a yellow color, and again a blue color from the gas. Yellow emission of atoms is an indication of the element Na, sodium. In figure 7.2 each element is placed onto a chart, showing the color that corresponded to the visible light emitted by the elements atoms. The wavelength is also determined for each element and its numerical characteristics in nanometers.
In figure 7.3 the illustration is of a water wave ripple. This figure shows Lambda (wavelength), with identical peaks of the ripples, exactly the same space from each other.
In figured 7.4 the relationship between frequency and wavelength are correlated. See first discussion post for a more detailed explanation. You can determine the top wavelength in figure 7.4 as 2 Hz because of the two equal peaks frequency. The bottom example have 4 identical peaks in one second, giving it a frequency of 4 Hz.
Practice Problem 7.35
Since the question is asking for wavelength use this equation Lambda (distance)=c (speed of light constant 3.00 x 108 m/s)/v (frequency)
3.00x108 m/s/1.365 x106/s = 219.6 m (because seconds cancel)
Practice Problem 7.37
V (frequency)=c (speed of light constant)/lambda (distance)
V=3.00x108 m/s/478x 10-9= 6.27 x 1014/s

Problem 1
The Black Body Problem was an experiment Max Planck did. He heated solids and watched them change color as the temperature was increased and decreased. For example, at 750 degrees Celsius a solid metal object glows red, and at 1200 degrees Celsius a metal solid glows white. I think this concept of heating solids to observe a color is known as blackbody radiation.

Planck’s experiment created a theory that the atoms in a solid vibrate, and only have a particular vibration (E).
Equation:
E=nhv
E(atom vibration)=n(quantum number, or size)h(Planck’s constant – 6.63 x 10-37)v(frequency)

In the attached figure, another theory (Rayleigh-Jeans Law) is when a solid is experimented with at low temperatures. The wavelength doesn’t pass the horizontal axis, which means it slows down, and is not visible. There is no vibration.

Problem 2
Photoelectric effect is a theory from Einstein. He used Planck’s data about quantum theory and expanded on it. Einstein theorized that light (from any source) is made up of photons, and the photons eject electrons from objects (metals) it hits. In order to see a color the amount of electrons ejected need to be over a certain number, also known as “threshold value.”


Light behaves like matter because of the electromagnetic energy (photon) in the light. When photons hit an object the energy is absorbed in the object, and the photon is gone. Einstein’s equation shows the relationship.

Equation:
E=hv
E(vibration)=h(Planck’s constant – 6.63 x 10-37)v(frequency)


In figure 7.6 electromagnetic energy or photons, are being shined on a mental object. The metal object is ejecting the electrons and they are being caught by the positive wire connected to the metal. This is causing the ammeter in the battery to move because of the capturing of the ejected electrons from the photons (or photoelectric energy).









An energy of 2.0 x 102 kJ/mol is required to cause a cesium atom on a metal surface to lose an electron. What is the quanta of energy per atom? Calculate the longest possible wavelength of light that can ionize a cesium atom. In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is this radiation found?


Problem one
Since the equation is E=hv, I think you can change the equation to get quanta into v=E/n

2.0 x 102 / 6.63 x 10-35 = 3.02 x 1036 (not sure what units)

Longest possible wavelength
This is the longest as possible, because the speed of light is constant (?).

Radio Waves (?)

Heather –
Did you get this?


You are an engineer designing a switch that works by the photoelectric effect. The metal you wish to use in your device requires 6.7 x 10-19 J/atom to remove an electron. Will the switch work if the light falling on the metal has a wavelength of 540 nm or greater? Why or why not?

No the switch will NOT work if the lights wavelength is 540 nm. The quanta frequency would need to be more than double.

Why because of Mathematical Explanation:

Lambda=3.00 x 108 / 540 x 10-9 = 5.56 x 1014

E= (6.63 x 10-34)(5.56 x 1014) = 3.69 x10-19 (required 6.7 x 10-19 J/atom)









Problem 7.49

WOW I think I got this!

(-RH/25)-(-RH/9)=-9RH+25RH/225=16RH/225=hv

v=16RH/225h=16/225(2.179x10-18)/(6.626x10-34)=2.34 x 1014

Problem 7.50

Am I right?

(-RH/16)-(-RH/9)=-9RH+16RH/144=7RH/144=hv

v=7RH/144h=7/144(2.179x10-18)/(6.626x10-34)=1.60 x 1014

Problem 7.51

I know this is right!!!

(-RH/4)-(-RH/1)=-1RH+4RH/4=3RH/4=hv

v=3RH/4h=3/4(2.179x10-18)/(6.626x10-34)=1.21 x 10-7 or 121 nm, Near Ultra Violet

Problem 7.52

Is this right?

(-RH/25)-(-RH/16)=-16RH+25RH/400=9RH/400=hv

v=9RH/400h=9/400(2.179x10-18)/(6.626x10-34)= 7.40 x 1013, Near Infrared


I do not understand what you are looking for***Using figure 7.11 and Example 7.4, assign these bands to electron transitions within the hydrogen atom****

Exercise 7.5
I need help with this. I don’t understand







Part A. de Broglie Relation
Exercise 7.6
6.63 x 10-34/2.19 x 106 = 3.03 x 10-40 or 303 pm (??)
Problems 7.57
WOW! I am getting good!
Use the equation lambda=h/mv, where v is now speed because the question is asking the wavelength of a neutron.
6.63 x 10-34/1.67 x 10-27 (4.15) = 9.57 pm
Problem 7.58
6.63 x 10-34/1.67 x 10-27 (6.58) = 6.03 10-8, far ultra-violet
Part B. Matter-waves, the uncertainty principle and the Wave Model of the Atom
Problem 7.61 (pg. 290)
6.63 x 10-34/(145)(30.0) = 1.52 x 10-37 ( the answer is 1.52 x 10-22 --any idea what went wrong), decreased, smaller
The uncertainty value is since the electron is affected by the nucleus, in moves around inside a shell. For example, how earth goes around the sun. Even though the electron has an as exact orbit in an atom around the nucleus (or shell), the unknown of where how the electron will move is unknown value.
In figure 7.17 mostly you will find the hydrogen atoms electron in this region (pg.279). It is somewhere from 110 pm, and below from the lowest energy from only the wave.
In figure 7.18 the radius is shown of the probability of where the hydrogen atoms electron is from the nucleus. The peak in the figure is at 50 pm, which in the highest radial probability.




Part C. Wave Model Versus Bohr's Model
In think figure 7.10 is confusing. I do understand how the negative constant (-RH) is related to principal quantum number (n). As the n increase the -RH increases? Does anyone know why? The graph doesn’t show the spherical shape of the atom, instead it shows it in a straight line and maybe that’s why I do not like it.
In figure for 7.23 it is showing a 1s orbital. The electron distribution, or probability of finding the electrons is where the pink color is darker. In the 2s orbital the probability has two dark pink rings. Again, that denotes where the electron should be. In figure 7.24 shows the outer membrane (not sure what to call that) of the atom is least likely place you will find the electron. Since the diagram is a cutaway, you can see the darkest pink rings and that is where you will most likely find the electron.


If I was to redraw the Bohr I would use triangles. Each line would represent one n value. n=1 being the smallest triangle, n=2 second triangle, n=3 third triangle





























The Pauli Exclusion principle is that no two elements can have the same n number. For example each shell holds two electrons. One 1s orbital holds two electrons, one ms value is ½ the magnetic spin and the other ms value is – ½ the magnetic spin. The spin is represented in arrows. You can not have two up arrows in an orbit because of the electrons behavior to magnetic energy.

Exercise 8.1

A. Impossible, because 1s can hold 2 electrons.
B. Impossible, you have to fill up 1s first, then 2s second, the 2p
C. Impossible, two with the same spin
D. Possible, written correctly
E. Impossible, 2s can only fit 2 electrons
F. Impossible, after the 3p orbital is full, you have to put one electron in the 4s orbital to move on to the next orbital

Exercise 8.41

A. Impossible, two same spin
B. Possible, ok
C. Impossible, two same spin
D. Impossible, three electrons in one orbit (2 max)

Exercise 8.42
A. Impossible, two same spin
B. Possible, ok
C. Impossible, three electrons in one orbit
D. Possible,

Exercise 8.43
A. Impossible, 1s isn’t full
B. Impossible, 3s only room for two electrons
C. Possible, ok
D. Possible, d can hold 10


Hund's rule is that you must fill each subshell with a positive ms value. This is because they have low energy and have to be placed into different orbital subshells.
An example of an orbital diagram that obeys the rule is one page 309. [Ar] electron configuration (valance shell) is 1s22p63s63p6. If you use the Hund’s rule you can abbreviate [Ar] 3d64s2 . This is because according to the rule, you can fill up each orbital with one electron (in the same spin). Instead of pairing on the electrons in the orbital, they can be separated out.
The Aufbau principle is the building of the ground state of the electron configuration by filling the orbitals in its electron configuration. For example, 3s has lower energy than 3p. The longer the electron configuration the higher the energy it will be (build up principle). Another example is 2p2 has less energy than 2p6.
On pg 309 Neon obeys the rules, and C and N does not. (I think)
C & N= Paramagnetic Neon = Diamagnetic (definitely)
Other
An orbital that has two electrons is more stable than an orbital that has one electron.

Pulmonary Arteries – deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle to the R and L lungs
Pulmonary Veins – return rich oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium.

Contraction of the Heart

Stimulated by membrane depolarization
Caused by SA NODE (sinoatrial node)***most important autorthymic fibers**

Autorthymic fibers – SA NODE ( sinoartial node) located in the right atrium, acts as the PACEMAKER for the rest of the heart, SPONTANEOUS ACTION POTENTIALS faster than other cells, WITHOUT NEURAL ACTIVATION

ATRIOVENTRICULAR – AV NODE, depolarization travels quickly over both ventriles by a network of fibers called the ATRIOVENTRICULAR bundle, aka (BUNDLE OF HIS)---information then relayed to PURKINJE FIBERS

PURKINJE FIBERS – directly stimulate the myocardial cells of the left and right ventricles causing the contraction

Blood Vessels

Arterioles – finest, microscopic branches of the arterial tree

Capillaries – blood from arterioles
Venules – blood is collected which leads to large vessesls *VEINS (back to heart)

Capillaries – MADE UP OF:
One layer of endothemlium – allows rapid exchange of gases and metabolites btw blood and body cells

Arteries and arterioles- MADE UP OF:
Smooth muscle layer resulting in VASOCONSTRICTION, which increases resistance and decreases blood flow (hypertension and blood pressure)

***Vasoconstriction – contraction of smooth muscle layer, increased resistance and decrease flow
***Vasodilation – relaxing smooth muscle layer – decreasing resistance and increasing flow








Veins and Vensules – MADE UP OF:
Thinnest layer of smooth muscle (smoother muscle than arteries), work with skeletal muscles, ONE WAY contraction called VENOUS VALVES

I like this

1. Cellular respiration
1. Cellular respiration is a complex mechanism whereby large numbers of ATPs are produced via the utilization of an inorganic final electron acceptor and an electron transport chain.
2. Aerobic and anaerobic:
1. Cellular respiration comes in two general varieties distinguished by the nature of their inorganic final electron acceptor: oxygen versus everything else.
2. These two forms of cellular respiration are dubbed aerobic and anaerobic respiration (or cellular respiration), respectively.
2. Aerobic respiration
1. Cellular respiration in which oxygen serves as the final electron acceptor.
2. Aerobic respiration is by far and away the more common form of cellular respiration.
3. Anaerobic respiration
1. No oxygen, yes electron transport chain:
1. Cellular respiration in which something other than oxygen serves as the final electron acceptor.
2. Examples of non-oxygen final electron acceptors include:
3. nitrate, NO3-, which is converted to nitrite, nitrous oxide, or nitrogen [NO21-, N2O, and N2, respectively] in the process
4. sulfate, (SO42-, which is converted to hydrogen sulfide, H2S
5. carbonate, CO32-, which is converted to methane, CH4
2. Anaerobic respiration doesn't result in as much ATP production as when oxygen is the final electron receptor.
3. Nevertheless, organisms (i.e., bacteria) that use anaerobic respiration occupy important niches and, indeed, exploit niches that organisms which require aerobic respiration cannot exploit and therefore cannot compete for.
4. Products of glycolysis
1. Glycolysis is cytoplasmic:
1. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of eucaryotic cells.
2. Glycolysis also occurs in the cytoplasm of bacteria.
2. NADH and pyruvate:
1. Besides ATP, the two important products of glycolysis are NADH and pyruvate.
2. When oxygen is lacking, both products are sacrificed to the process of fermentation in order to regenerate NAD+.
3. In organisms capable of undergoing cellular respiration, however, both NADH and pyruvate may be further oxidized to generate additional ATP.
4. These further steps are performed within mitochondria in eucaryotes.
3. Bacteria do it all cytoplasmically:
1. Within bacteria possessing electron transport systems, both glycolysis and cellular respiration take place in their cytoplasms.
2. This differs from the doings of eucaryotes because eucaryotes have literally co-opted bacteria--a.k.a. mitochondria--to perform their cellular respiration).
5. NADH into mitochondria
1. Active NADH transport into mitochondria:
1. The NADH product of glycolysis may be utilized in cellular respiration given transport of the NADH into mitochondria (procaryotes, of course, don't have this problem).
2. This transfer costs eucaryotic cells one ATP.
6. Acetyl-CoA [coenzyme A]
1. Central metabolic intermediate:
1. A central molecule in cellular respiration, one to which all proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates must be converted prior to participation in cellular respiration.
2. The fate of acetyl-CoA is dependent upon ATP needs. When ATP is prevalent, acetyl-CoA serves as the basis for fatty acid synthesis, which forms the basis of your body's long-term energy storage: triglycerides (i.e., fat).
3. Alternatively, acetyl-CoA may enter the Kreb's citric acid cycle.
2. Structure of acetyl-CoA:
1. Structurally, acetyl-CoA consists of a two carbon group attached to a coenzyme (coenzyme A). That is, an acetyl group has the following structure:

|
H3C-C=O

7. Note the unpaired electron on top of the first carbon (i.e., that attached to the double-bonded oxygen) which is bound to coenzyme A in acetyl-CoA. Coenzyme A is far more complex and based upon an ADP core. See figure 1100.1.
8. Conversion of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA
1. Pyruvate is transported into mitochondria at no apparent energy cost.
2. There it is converted into acetyl-CoA with the following stoichiometry: pyruvate + NAD+ + CoA à acetyl-CoA + NADH + CO2
9. Kreb's (citric acid, tricarboxylic acid) cycle
1. A multi-step reaction during which an acetyl group is completely oxidized to CO2 . . .
2. . . . and reducing hydrogens.
3. This oxidation is analogous, and in some ways mechanistically similar to the oxidation of glucose in glycolysis through pyruvate and acetyl-CoA formation. That is:
1. reducing hydrogens are accumulated in NADH
2. some ATP is generated
3. there is a reduction in carbon number, though here this is effected through liberation of carbon dioxide
4. In the Kreb's cycle there is an electron acceptor in addition to NAD+ called FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide; which is converted to FADH2 in the course of reduction).
5. Overall, the Kreb's cycle has the following stoichiometry:

oxaloacetate + acetyl-CoA + 2H2O + ADP + Pi + 3NAD+ + FAD à oxaloacetate + 2CO2 + CoA + ATP + 3NADH + 3H+ + 2"FADH2

10. Biochemistry of Kreb's cycle (simplified outline)
1. Below is a greatly simplified outline of the Kreb's cycle to give you a very basic idea of the reactions involved0:
1. C2-CoA + C4 + H2O à C6 + CoA
2. C6 + NAD+ à C5 + NADH + H+ + CO2
3. C5 + 2NAD+ + FAD + ADP + Pi + H2O à C4 + 2NADH + 2H+ + 2"FADH2 + ATP + CO2
4. C2-CoA + C4 + H2O à C6 + CoA
5. etc. . . .
2. Note that:
1. C4 in its final form (as shown above) is oxaloacetate (recall that the above is a gross over-simplification and thus C4 compounds in the Kreb's cycle also include, in order, succinyl-CoA, succinic acid, fumaric acid, and malic acid)
2. C6 is citric acid (as well as a number of other compounds as it is successively converted to including cis-aconitic acid, isocitric acid, and oxalosuccinic acid)
3. C2-CoA is, of course, acetyl-CoA.
4. C5, on the other hand, represents just a-ketoglutaric acid.
11. Structures of Kreb's cycle intermediates

12.
Regeneration of NAD+ and FAD
1. As with glycolysis, continued cycling of the Kreb's cycle depends on the regeneration of NAD+ and FAD.
2. Unlike fermentation, cellular respiration has a means of extracting the energy in the reduced molecules (NADH and 2"FADH2).
3. In fact, this energy extraction procedure employs an electron transport system, has a molecular oxygen terminal electron acceptor, and is employed to generate ATP via a process called chemiosmosis.
13. Electron transport system [chain]
1. A series of oxidizing and reducing molecules (proteins and other) found in the inner membrane of mitochondria as well as all bacteria capable of undergoing cellular respiration.
2. Electron transport chains convert the energy associated with reduced electrons, liberated in the conversion of NADH to NAD+ (and 2"FADH2 to FAD), to protons (H+) pumped from the mitochondria matrix (for example) to the mitochondria outer compartment.
3. high [H+] out, low in (matrix)
4. As electrons are transported along this chain of electron donors and acceptors they incrementally lose energy (which, as noted, is harnessed in the pumping of protons out of the mitochondria matrix).
5. The final acceptor of the electrons, in aerobic respiration, is molecular oxygen, a matrix reaction which serves to increase the proton concentration gradient across the mitochondria inner membrane: 4H+ + 4e- + O2 à 2H2O
6. Absolute dependence on final electron acceptor:
1. Note that in the absence of a final electron acceptor, cellular respiration stops.
2. Note also that for humans and other aerobic respirators, this means that cellular respiration cannot occur in the absence of oxygen.
14. Chemiosmosis
1. The pumping of protons from the mitochondria matrix into the mitochondria outer compartment establishes a concentration gradient.
2. Influx coupled to ATP synthesis:
1. This concentration gradient may be harnessed though coupling with the facilitated diffusion of these protons back into the matrix.
2. In fact, this facilitated diffusion is harnessed (via a proton-pump running in reverse; for an idea of how a proton-pump might work see how a sodium-potassium pump pumps sodium ions) to generate ATP in a process known as chemiosmosis.
3. The stoichiometry of chemiosmosis and electron transport chain (ETS) pumping is:

9H+ (matrix) + NADH

--(ETS)--

NAD+ + 9H+ (outer compartment)

6H+ (matrix) + 2"FADH2

--(ETS)--

FAD + 9H+ (outer compartment)

3H+ (outer compartment) + ADP + Pi

--(with concentration gradient)--

3H+ (matrix) + ATP

1. Practice question answers
1. i is the answer (structure on left). These are all Kreb's cycle intermediates. The one in the middle is isocitric acid while the one on the left is oxalosuccinic acid. Citric acid is on the far right. Note that, in the course of the Kreb's cycle, citric acid is converted to isocitric acid which is then converted to oxalosuccinic acid, the latter reaction results in NAD+ being reduced to NADH + H+. Thus, the most oxidized (i.e., least reduced) is the compound on the left, oxalosuccinic acid. Regardless, the intermediates to oxalosuccinic acids (middle and far right) both have more hydrogens thus suggesting a greater level of reduction.
2. Same as first reaction (1), C2-CoA + C4 + H2O à C6 + CoA
3. pyruvate and NADH
4. storage fats are made
5. all are ones except in front of CO2 which is a two and in front of NAD+, NADH, and H+ which are all threes.

1.
2. iv, per pyruvate there is 1 NADH + H+ from glycolysis + 1 NADH + H+ from acetyl-CoA formation + 3 NADH + H+ from the Kreb's citric acid cycle + 1 FADH2 from the Kreb's citric acid cycle. Given 3 ATP per NADH and 2 ATP through FADH2 following electron transport and chemiosmosis, that's (5 * 3) + 2 ATP = 17 ATP per pyruvate or a 34 ATP per glucose gross yield from chemiosmosis. Of course we lose 2 ATP for the transport of 2 NADHs into the mitochondria, so the net gain is 32 ATP from chemiosmosis. Note that two additional ATPs come from glycolysis and substrate level phosphorylation during the Kreb's cycle bring the total net ATP yield to 36 per glucose in eucoryotes. i, NADH. The easy way to figure this out is to note how many ATPs each species is worth upon access to an electron transport chain in a mitochondria: 3, 0, 2, and 0 for NADH, NAD+, FADH2, and FAD.
3. iii, citric acid
4. anaerobic respiration
5. Respiration makes lots of ATP, uses inorganic final electron acceptors (such as molecular oxygen), and uses an electron transport chain. Fermentation makes only a little ATP, does not use an electron transport chain, and uses organic final electron acceptors. Note that in either case "waste" molecules are given off into the environment (CO2 is the waste molecule in the case of aerobic respiration).
6. Oxygen
7. i and iii, glycolysis (a number of intermediates) and phospholipids (a glycerol derivative forms the central core)
8. i, 0; recall that only two net ATP are produced by glycolysis, but that these are both employed in the transport of NADH into the mitochondria.
9. iii, 2; remember, each turn of the Kreb's cycle converts a six carbon molecule to a four carbon molecule with each carbon lost as a CO(2).
10. v, 6, 3, 2, 6, 5, and then 4.
11. iv, 10, 6, 24, 6, and 34.
12. organic final electron acceptor rather than inorganic, less ATP versus more, production of organic waste versus lack of production of organic waste, lack of use of electron transport system versus use of, ATPs generated by substrate level phosphorylation versus ATPs mostly generated by chemiosmosis, lack of chemiosmosis versus chemiosmosis, etc.
13. H2O, various non-oxygen inorganic electron acceptors including nitrogen gas, NADH, fermentation products including: lactic acid, ethanol, CO2, acetone, formic acid, H+.
14. iv, both regenerate NAD+.
