Answer to Question #271780 in General Chemistry for Nana

Question

An important reaction in the formation of photochemical smog is the photodissociation of NO2:

NO2 + hv-----NO(g) + O(g)

The maximum wavelength of light that can cause this reaction is 420 nm.

What is the maximum strength of a bond (E), kJ/mol that can be broken by absorption of a photon of 420 nm light

Answer 1

Maximum strength of the bond=285 kJ/mole
