what is the maximum wavelength capable of breaking a carbon oxygen bond with a bond strength of 1072 kj/mol? steo by ste pwould be awesome!
we have:
Energy of 1 mol = 1.072*10^3 KJ/mol
= 1.072*10^6 J/mol
Find energy of 1 photon first
Energy of 1 photon = energy of 1 mol/Avogadro's number
= 1.072*10^6/(6.022*10^23)
= 1.78*10^-18 J
This is energy of 1 photon
we have below equation to be used:
Energy = Planck constant*speed of light/wavelength
1.78*10^-18J =(6.626*10^-34 J.s)*(3.0*10^8 m/s)/lambda
lambda = 1.117*10^-7 m
Answer: 1.117*10^-7 m
