Question

photochemical dissociation produces a normal oxygen atom and an oxygen atom 2.5ev more energetic than normal one. also the average bond energy of oygen itno noraml oxygen is 498kj/mol. determine the longest wavelength required for photochemical dissociation of oxygen.

Solution

Bond energy of oxygen per molecule = 498 × 1036.022 × 1023 = 8.26 × 10-19 JEnergy required for photochemical decomposition of one molecule of O2= 8.26 × 10-19 J + 2.5 × 1.6 × 10-19 J (1 ev = 1.6 × 10-19 J) = 1.226 × 10-18 Jλ = hcE = 6.626 × 10-34 × 3 × 1081.226 × 10-18 = 16.214 × 10-8 = 162 nm
