It takes 146./kjmol to break an oxygen-oxygen single bond. calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which an oxygen-oxygen single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon.
To answer this question, we will use the following rule: E = hc / lambda where: E is the energy = 146 kJ/mol = 146000 J/mol h is Planck's constant = 6.62*10^-34 kg m^2 / sec c is the speed of light = 3*10^8 m/sec lambda is the wavelength that we need to calculate
Substitute with the given values in the above equation to get lambda as follows: 146000 = (6.62 * 10^-34 * 3 * 10^8) / lambda lambda = 1.36*10^-30 meters
