benzene itself. On the basis of a free-electron molecular orbital model (in
which hexatriene is treated as a linear box and benzene as a ring), would you
expect the lowest energy absorption to rise or fall in energy?
15. The electronic absorption band of a compound in solution had a Gaussian lineshape and a
half-width at half-height of 4233 cm-1 and εmax =1.54 × 104 dm3 mol-1 cm-1. Estimate the

absorption coefficient of the substance with unit.

reaction, where t1/ 2 is the half-life and t 3/4 is the time for the concentration of A to
decrease to 3/4 of its initial value.
