### Problem Statement

Calculate the energy in kilojoules (kJ) for \(6 \times 10^{23}\) photons of light with a wavelength of 529 nm.

### Given Data

- **Planck's constant,** \( h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{J}\cdot\text{s} \)
- **The speed of light in a vacuum,** \( c = 3.00 \times 10^{8} \, \text{m/s} \)
- **Conversion factor for nanometers to meters,** \( 1 \, \text{nm} = 10^{-9} \, \text{m} \)
- **Avogadro's number,** \( N_A = 6.022 \times 10^{23} \)

### Solution

#### Answer:

\[ \text{Energy (kJ)} = \]

---

This problem involves calculating the energy associated with a given number of photons using the known constants of Planck’s constant, the speed of light, and Avogadro's number. The conversion between nanometers and meters is necessary to match units for calculating energy using the equation:

\[ E = \frac{h \cdot c}{\lambda} \]

where \( E \) is energy, \( h \) is Planck’s constant, \( c \) is the speed of light, and \( \lambda \) is the wavelength.
