It takes 338. kJ/mom to break a carbon-chlorine single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-chlorine Single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon. Round your answer to three significant digits.

Respuesta :

Answer: The maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-chlorine Single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 354 nm

Explanation:

The relation between energy and wavelength of light is given by Planck's equation, which is:

[tex]E=\frac{Nhc}{\lambda}[/tex]

where,

E = energy of the light  = [tex]338kJ=338000J[/tex]    (1kJ=1000J)

N= avogadro's number

h = Planck's constant

c = speed of light

[tex]\lambda[/tex] = wavelength of light

[tex]338\times 1000J=\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}\times 6.6\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{\lambda}[/tex]    

[tex]{\lambda}=0.354\times 10^{-6}m=354nm[/tex]     [tex](1nm=10^{-9}m[/tex]

Thus the maximum wavelength is 354 nm
