(a)
Interpretation:
Energy possessed by a mole of photon should be calculated and expressed with the units of kilojoules and kilocalories.
Concept introduction:
A photon can be introduced as a piece of energy which has no mass. The relationship between the energy of a photon and its wavelength can be expressed with the following Planck-Einstein equation represented as follows:
Answer to Problem 23P
Explanation of Solution
A photon can be introduced as a piece of energy which has no mass. The speed of a photon is equal to the speed of the light. The relationship between the energy of a photon and its wavelength can be expressed with the Planck-Einstein equation represented as follows:
Here,
Since, the frequency of the photon is not given, the equation of
Using
Substituting
=
Since,
Energy of a photon in kilojoules,
Since,
Number of photons in a mole = Avogadro number of photons
Therefore, energy of mole of photon in kiloJoules,
Energy of a photon in kilojoules
Energy of a photon in kilocalories,
Number of photons in a mole = Avogadro number of photons
Therefore, Energy of moles of photon in kilocalories,
Einstein is also a unit of energy.
Einstein
Thus, energy of mole of photon in kilo Joules =
Energy of moles of photon in kilocalories =
(b)
Interpretation:
The maximum increase in the redox potential induced by 1000 nm photon needs to be determined.
Concept introduction:
One electron volt is the energy need to move an electron between one-volt potential difference.
One electron volt
Answer to Problem 23P
Explanation of Solution
The maximum increase in a redox potential can be calculated as follows:
Putting the values,
(c)
Interpretation:
Number of photons need to overcome the Gibbs free energy should be calculated.
Concept introduction:
In a simple definition, Gibbs free energy of a reaction is the energy associated with that particular
Phosphorylation is the conversion of ATP from ADP.
Answer to Problem 23P
Explanation of Solution
Phosphorylation is the conversion of ATP from ADP.
ATP- Adenosine triphosphate
ADP-Adenosine diphosphate
Therefore,
Energy needed for the phosphorylation reaction = Energy needed to convert a mole of ADP to ATP =
Number of ADP in one mole of ADP =
Energy needed to convert one ADP to ATP,
=
Maximum energy that one
Minimum number of

Historical Discovery Process The chemical changes that occur during photosynthesis have been investigated for the past 300 years. The general highlights of these discoveries help us to understand the basic process of photosynthesis. Three centuries ago people wondered where plants came from. They knew that plants grew out of the ground, but how that happened was a complete mystery to them. The first step in answering the question was to plant a small tree in a large pot supported off the ground. They did this so that the soil of the container was separated from the soil of the earth. Only the dirt in the pot was available to the plant. The people cared for the plant during one year. At the end of the year the small tree had gained 100 kg.
