Express (a) the energy required to break one bond in DNA `(10^(-10)J)` in eV.
(b) the kinetic energy of an air molecule `(10^(-21)J)` in eV.
(c) the daily intake of a human adult `(10^(7)J)` in kilocalories.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The kinetic energy of an air molecule is
`(10^(-21)J)/(1.6xx10^(-19)J"/"eV) cong 0.0062 eV`
This is the same as 6.2 meV.
