The hydroxyl radical (OH) plays an important role in atmospheric chemistry. It is highly reactive and has a tendency to combine with an H atom from other compounds, causing them to break up. Thus, OH is sometimes called a "detergent" radical because it helps to clean up the atmosphere.
(a) Estimate the enthalpy change for the following reaction:
(b) The radical is generated when sunlight hits water vapor. Calculate the maximum wavelength (in nm) required to break an O–H bond in H2O.
