The dissociation energy of the C-Cl bond in CF₃Cl is 339 kJ/mol. The maximum wavelength of light that has enough energy per photon to dissociate the C-Cl bond is __________ nm.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The energy of a photon is given by E = hc/λ, where h is Planck's constant and c is the speed of light. Rearranging for wavelength, λ = hc/E. Substituting the given dissociation energy (339 kJ/mol converted to J/photon) into this equation gives a wavelength of approximately 353 nm.
