3. The dissociation of the HO-H bond in water requires 493 kJ/mol.
a) How much energy, in joules, is required to break the HO-H bond in a single water molecule?
b) What wavelength of electromagnetic radiation would have the energy required to break a HO-H bond?
c) In what region of the spectrum (X-ray, UV, Vis, IR, etc.) does this radiation appear?
a) 493 KJ = 493000 J
Thus, the dissociation of the HO-H bond in water requires 493000 J/mol
According to avogadro's law 1 mole of water contain 6.022
 1023
molecule that mean 6.022 
 1023
molecule require 493000 J energy then 1 molecule of water require
493000 / 6.022 
 1023
= 8.186649 
 10-19
J of energy
to break the HO-H bond in a single water molecule require
8.186649 
 10-19
J of energy
b)
E = hc /
 where,
E = energy =  8.186649 
 10-19
J
h = Planck constant = 6.626
10-34J
s
c = velocity of light = 3.00
108
m/s
 = wavelength in
meter
we can wright above equation
 = hc/E
Substitute value
 =
(6.626
10-34)
(3.00
108) /
(8.186649 
10-19)
 = 2.428
 10-7
meter = 242.8 nm
242.8 nm wavelength of electromagnetic radiation would have the energy required to break a HO-H bond
c) It is come in UV region
because UV region have range between 100 nm to 400 nm
