Peroxyacyl nitrates contain two relatively weak bonds that can be broken by low-energy photons. The weakest is the N−O bond in the nitrate functional group of the molecule with a standard bond-dissociation energy of 201 kJ mol−1. What is the longest wavelength of a photon, in nanometres, that has enough energy to cause the photodissociation of the weakest bond. Assume all energy of the photon is efficiently used for the photodissociation. Express your answer to three significant figures and include...
1. The 1-1 bond of iodine (12) can be broken (creating two separate I atoms) with electromagnetic radiation. What is the longest wavelength (lowest energy) photon which has sufficient energy to break the 1-1 bond if the energy of the bond is 151 kJ mol'? (show all work, 4 pts) b) Would a photon of this wavelength be best characterized as X-ray, microwave, or infrared electromagnetic radiation? (1 pt) 2. Consider a green laser that emits photons at 532 nm....
By using photons of specific wavelengths, chemists can dissociate gaseous HI to produce H atoms with accurately known speeds. When HI dissociates, the H atoms move away rapidly, whereas the relatively heavy I atoms move little. Use Table 9.2 in your textbook to answer the following questions: (a) What is the longest wavelength (in nm) that can dissociate a molecule of HI? 4.9) 406 nm (b) If a photon of 226 nm is used, what is the excess energy (in...
