It takes 498. kJ/mol to break an oxygen-oxygen double bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which an oxygen-oxygen double bond could be
broken by absorbing a single photon.
Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Respuesta :

  • Energy=498KJ =498×10^3J

We know

[tex]\\ \sf\bull\longmapsto E=hv[/tex]

  • h=planks constant
  • v=frequency

[tex]\\ \sf\bull\longmapsto v=\dfrac{E}{h}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\bull\longmapsto v=\dfrac{498\times 10^3J}{6.626\times 10^{-34}Js}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\bull\longmapsto v=75.15\times 10^{37}s^{-1}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\bull\longmapsto v=7.5\times 10^{36}s^{-1}[/tex]

Now

[tex]\\ \sf\bull\longmapsto \lambda=\dfrac{C}{V}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\bull\longmapsto \lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^{8}ms^{-1}}{7.5\times 10^{36}s^{-1}}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\bull\longmapsto \lambda=2.5\times 10^{-28}m[/tex]

The bond energy required to break the oxygen-oxygen double bond is 240 nm

The energy of the incoming photon = [tex]498 * 10^3 J/mol/6.02 * 10^23 moles[/tex] = [tex]8.27 * 10^-19 J[/tex]

Recall that;

E = hc/λ

E = energy of the photon

c = speed of light = [tex]3 * 10^8 m/s[/tex]

λ = wavelength of photon

h = Plank's constant = [tex]6.63 * 10^-34 Js[/tex]

λ = hc/E

λ = [tex]6.63 * 10^-34 * 3 * 10^8/8.27 * 10^-19[/tex]

λ = [tex]2.40 * 10^-7 m[/tex]

λ = 240 nm
