Answer to Question #207645 in Inorganic Chemistry for Raj

Question #207645

The hydroxyl radical (OH) plays an important role in atmospheric chemistry. It is highly reactive and has a tendency to combine with a H atom from other compounds, causing them to break up. Thus, OH is sometimes called a “detergent” radical because it helps to clean up the atmosphere. (a) Write the Lewis structure for the radical. (b) Refer to Table 9.4 and explain why the radical has a high af￾finity for H atoms. (c) Estimate the enthalpy change for the reaction OH(g) + CH4(g) ⟶ CH3(g) + H2O(g) (d) The radical is generated when sunlight hits water vapor. Calculate the maximum wavelength (in nanometers) required to break an OH bond in H2O.
