Concept explainers
Interpretation:
A conclusion is to be drawn about the mechanism of the reaction in Figure 15-10, which does not show a change over an initial period in the absorbance at 244 nm when the concentration of the base is doubled.
Concept introduction:
The kinetics of an elimination reaction can be determined by monitoring the absorbance of the product’s

- Explain the principle behind fluorescence spectroscopy. In your answer, draw a Jablonski diagram Showing the fluorescence mechanism, use a diagram to describe the fluorescence spectrometer used to perform measurements and discuss the competing mechanisms which can reduce the fluorescence lifetime.arrow_forwardWhat does the imaginary frequency observed for the transition state correspond to?arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true about fluorescence intensity of the molecule? I Fluorescence is observed in planar molecules and its intensity increase with an increase in the number of aromatic rings II When zinc is added to a hydroxyl quinoline solution the fluorescence intensity increased due to the formation of a complex which increases the rigidity of the molecule. III On increasing the intensity of the incident radiation the fluorescence intensity increases IV On increasing the concentration of the fluorigenic molecule, the fluorescence intensity increases.

This singlet changes rapidly into a triplet, which phosphoresces. Triethylamine acts as a quencher for the triplet. In an experiment in the solvent methanol, the phosphorescence intensity variedarrow_forward5. The table shows intensities and lifetime data for luminescence of a ruthenium complex for a range of oxygen concentrations.

Why does the luminescence intensity decrease as the oxygen concentration increases? The luminescence intensity decreases as the oxygen concentration increases because the oxygen is acting as a quencher so when the oxygen is present the luminescence gets excited and then that energy is transferred and accepted by охудen. b.
