Answer:

241 nm, it is UV light range

Explanation:

The minimum energy needed required to break the oxygen-oxygen bond = 495 kJ/mol

Energy needed for 1 molecule of oxygen = 495 × 10³ J / avogadro's constant = 495 × 10³ J  / ( 6.02 × 10²³) = 8.223 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

Energy = hv

where h = Planck constant = 6.626 × 10 ⁻³⁴ m²kg/s and v = frequency

c speed of light = vλ

c / λ = v

E = hc / λ

λ  = hc / E = (6.626 × 10 ⁻³⁴ m²kg/s × 3.0 × 10 ⁸ m/s) / (8.223 × 10⁻¹⁹ J)  = 2.41 × 10⁻⁷m = 241 nm

UV light wavelength is between 400 nm - 10 nm

In order for a chemical reaction to take place, what MUST ALWAYS occur?
Mumz [18]

Answer:

A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the transformation of one set of chemical substances to another.

Classically, chemical reactions encompass changes that only involve the positions of electrons in the forming and breaking of chemical bonds between atoms, with no change to the nuclei (no change to the elements present), and can often be described by a chemical equation.
