Answer:
(3) 345 nm
Explanation:
Given:
Average C-C bond energy = 347 kJ/mol
To determine:
Wavelength of photon that can break a C-C bond
Calculation:
The energy (E) of a photon is related to its wavelength (λ) by the Planck's equation:
[tex]E = \frac{hc}{\lambda }[/tex]
where h = Planck's constant = 6.626*10⁻³⁴ Js
c = speed of light = 3*10⁸ m/s
[tex]\lambda = \frac{hc}{E}[/tex]
[tex]\lambda =\frac{6.626*10^{-34}Js*3*10^{8}ms^{-1}*6.023*10^{23}mol^{-1}}{347,000Jmol^{-1}}[/tex]
λ = 3.45*10⁻⁷ m
Since 1 nanometer (nm) = 10⁻⁹ m
The calculated wavelength corresponds to 345 nm
