Answer:

  • <u>2.59 × 10⁻⁷ m  = 259 nm</u>

Explanation:

You need to calculate the wavelength of a photon with an energy equal to 463 kJ/mol, which is the energy to break an oxygen-hydrogen atom.

The energy of a photon and its wavelength are related by the Planck - Einstein equation:

  • E = hν,

Where:

  • E = energy of a photon,
  • h = Planck constant (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J . s) and
  • ν = frequency of the photon.

And:

  • ν = c / λ

Where:

  • c = speed of light (3.00 × 10⁸ m/s in vacuum)
  • λ = wavelength of the photon

Thus, you can derive:

  • E = h c / λ

Solve for λ:

  • λ = h c / E

Before substituting the values, convert the energy, 463 kJ/ mol, to J/bond

  • 463 kJ/ mol × 1,000 J/kJ × 1 mol / 6.022 × 10 ²³ atom × 1 bond / atom

       = 7.69×10²³ J / bond

Substitute the values and use the energy of one bond:

  • λ = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J . s × 3.00 × 10⁸ m/s / 7.69×10²³ J = 2.59 × 10⁻⁷ m

The wavelength of light is usually shown in nanometers:

  • 2.59 × 10⁻⁷ m × 10⁹ nm / m = 259 nm ← answer

What is a coefficient? What is a subscript?
Katarina [22]

Answer:

The coefficient tells you how many molecules of that substance there is. The subscript tells you what the substance it. It tells you the the amount of each element there are in the molecule. Changing it would change the substance itself.

Well all reactions need energy to start it. The light is the energy that the reaction requires to start it. Sunlight also has no mass in the first place so laws of conservation of mass don't apply to it.
