Q2. Consider a porphyrin molecule having 18 electrons which can be IT
modeled either as a square (length 1000 pm) or a circle (diameter 1000 pm).
The experimental lowest energy absorption transition of this porphyrin occurs at
770 nm. (h = 6.626x10-34 Js, C = 2.998x108 ms-I, me = 9.109x10--31 kg, 1 amu =
1.661 X 10-27 kg)
(a) For the square and circular models draw (no derivation required) the
energy level diagrams up to the first unoccupied state. (10+10)
(b) Using appropriate and complete mathematical calculations determine the
lowest energy absorption transition for the two models and suggest which
(and why) would be a better model for this porphyrin. (15+15)
Q4. (a) Decide whether the following statements are true or false giving
reasoning. (5+5)
i. For a system composed of C components with chemical potentials Pi and n;
the number of moles of the i-th component, Lf Pin i will always have its
smallest possible value. .
ii. A body in equilibrium and in thermal and mechanieal contact with a I
reservoir at constant temperature and pressure will have the lowest
possible value of the Gibbs energy for that body.
(b) One mole of a pure substance at constant pressure
