It takes to break an iodine-iodine single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which an iodine-iodine single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

It takes 151 kJ/mol to break an iodine-iodine single bond. Calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which an iodine-iodine single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

 793 nm

Explanation:

The relation between energy and wavelength of light is given by Planck's equation, which is:

where,

E = energy of the light  = 151 kJ= 151000 J   (1kJ=1000J)

N= moles = 1 =

h = Planck's constant  =

c = speed of light  =

= wavelength of light  = ?

Putting in the values:

Thus  the maximum wavelength of light for which an iodine-iodine single bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 793 nm
