Graphene has a C-C bond length of 1.42 Å.

(a) Suppose you deposit a single layer of graphene around the entire earth, which has a diameter of 1.27 × 10^7 m. What would be the mass of this graphene layer?

(b) If the graphite in a wooden pencil has a mass of 60 g, what surface area could it cover, if it would be exfoliated as a single layer of graphene?

A cylindrical aluminum pipe of length 1.42 m has an inner radius of 1.60 ×10-3 m and an outer radius of 3.39 ×10-3 m. The interior of the pipe is completely filled with copper. What is the resistance of this unit? (Hint: Imagine that the pipe is connected between the terminals of a battery and decide whether the aluminum and copper parts of the pipe are in series or in parallel.)

The double bonds are stronger and shorter than single bonds. For example, a C−C single bond has an average bond energy of 347 kJ/mole while a C=C double bond has an average bond energy of 611 kJ/mole. Use valence bond theory to explain why a double bond is not simply twice as strong as a single bond.

Use orbitals to explain why bond rotation is possible around the single C‐C bonds in this molecule but not the double C=C bond. Note: To answer this question you may need to review prerequisite topics you covered in first‐semester general chemistry. Specifically, concepts about orbitals and bond formation should be reviewed (sigma bonds, pi bonds, s orbitals, p orbitals, etc.).
