Answer:
118.6nm
Explanation:
It is possible to calculate wavelength of any energetic process (As an ionization) using:
E = hc / λ (1)
Where E is Energy, h is Planck constant (6.626x10⁻³⁴Js), c speed of light (3x10⁸ms⁻¹) and λ is wavelength In meters.
As the energy to ionize 1 mole of iodine is 1009kJ, one atom requires:
(1009kJ / mol) ₓ (1mol / 6.022x10²³ atoms) = 1.6755x10⁻²¹kJ / atom. = 1.6755x10⁻¹⁸J
Replacing in (1):
λ = hc / E
λ = 6.626x10⁻³⁴Js*3x10⁸ms⁻¹ / 1.6755x10⁻¹⁸J
λ = 1.186x10⁻⁷m
As 1m = 1x10⁹nm:
1.186x10⁻⁷m ₓ (1x10⁹nm / 1m) =
118.6nm
