By using photons of specific wavelengths, chemists can dissociate gaseous HI to produce H atoms with certain speeds. When HI dissociates, the H atoms move away rapidly, whereas the heavier I atoms move more slowly.
(b) If a photon of 254 nm is used, what is the excess energy (in J) over that needed for dissociation?

Respuesta :

If a photon of 254 nm is used, the excess energy (in J) over that needed for dissociation is 2.93 10^-19 J.

What is Dissociation energy?

The bond-dissociation energy is defined as measure of the strength of a chemical bond which is represented as A−B. It can also be defined as the standard enthalpy change when the bond A−B is cleaved by homolysis to give two fragments A and B, that are usually radical species.

Energy of photon with λ 254 nm is given as

E = hC \ λ

= 6.626 × 10-³⁴ JS × 3 × 10 8 ms -1 /254 × 10 -9 m

= 7.83 10^-19 J

As we know that,

dissociation energy of HI = 295 10³ J. mol-¹

= 295 × 10³ J / mol -¹ / 6.023 × 10²³ mol -¹

= 4.898 10^-19 J.

Hence excess energy over dissociation

= 7.83 10^-19 J – 4.448 10^-19 J

= 2.93 10^-19 J

Thus, we concluded that the excess energy (in J) over that needed for dissociation is 2.93 10^-19 J.
