The force constant kstr of a backbone Ca --C bond in a peptide is 250.0 kcal/mol/Angstrom² and the
equilibrium bond distance (ro) is 1.49 Angstrom. What is the energy required to stretch this bond so that the
bond distance is 1.6 Angstrom? Is such a stretching possible at typical room temperature? (Typical thermal
energy at room temperature is 2.5 kJ/mol)
Select one or more:
O A. 12.7 kJ/mol, No thermal energy at room temperature is not enough to cause the molecule to stretch
O B. 1.32 kJ/mol, No thermal energy at room temperature can not cause the bond to stretch
O C. 250 kJ/mol, yes the thermal energy at room temperature is enough to cause the bond to stretch
O D. 0.35 kJ/mol, Yes thermal energy at room temperature can cause the bond to stretch
