JEE Main2010ChemistryThermodynamics (C)Actual
The energy required to break one mole of Cl - Cl bonds in Cl ₂ is 242 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹ . The longest wavelength of light capable of breaking a single Cl - Cl bond is ( c =3 10^8 ~ms ⁻¹ . and . N _ A =6.02 10²³ ~mol ⁻¹ )
Options
- A594 ~nm
- B640 ~nm
- C700 ~nm
- D494 ~nm
Correct answer
D. 494 ~nm
Step-by-step solution
Energy required for 1 Cl ₂ molecule = 242 10^3 ~N _ A Joules. This energy is contained in photon of wavelength ' '. aligned & hc = E 6.626 10⁻³⁴ 3 10^8 = 242 10^3 6.022 10²³ & =4947 Å 494 ~nm aligned
