Answer:

The wavelength of light is 68 nm.

Explanation:

Given data:

Binding energy of electron = 176 × 10³ Kj/ mol or   (1.76× 10⁶ j/mol)

Wavelength of light require to remove the  electron = ?

Solution:

E = hc / λ

h = planck constant (6.63×10⁻³⁴ J/s)

c = speed of light = (3×10⁸ m/s)

The energy require per electron is

1.76 × 10⁶ j / 6.02× 10²³ = 2.92 × 10⁻¹⁸ J

Now we will put the values in formula,

E = hc / λ

λ =  hc / E

λ = 6.63×10⁻³⁴ m².kg.s⁻¹ . 3×10⁸ m/s / 2.92 × 10⁻¹⁸ J

λ = 19.89×10⁻²⁶ m /2.92 × 10⁻¹⁸   (m².kg.s⁻² = J)

λ = 6.8 ×10⁻⁸ m

λ = 6.8 ×10⁻⁸ × 10⁹

λ = 68 nm

lbvjy [14]
The answer is B. Forming bonds requires energy and breaking bonds releases energy. The transition state is the highest point in one reaction energy profile. Before the transition state, the energy increases which means transition state absorbs energy.
