It takes 839./kjmol to break a carbon-carbon triple bond. calculate the maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon triple bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon.

round your answer to 3 significant digits in nm.

The maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon triple bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 143 nm.

Explanation:

It takes 839 kJ/mol to break a carbon-carbon triple bond.

Energy required to break 1 mole of carbon-carbon triple bond = E = 839 kJ

E = 839 kJ/mol = 839,000 J/mol

Energy required to break 1 carbon-carbon triple bond = E'

The energy require to single carbon-carbon triple bond will corresponds to wavelength which is required to break the bond.

(Using planks equation)

The maximum wavelength of light for which a carbon-carbon triple bond could be broken by absorbing a single photon is 143 nm.
