Ozone in the stratosphere absorbs ultraviolet light of wavelengths shorter than 320 nm, thus filtering out the most energetic radiation from sunlight. During this absorption, an ozone molecule absorbs a photon, which breaks an oxygen-oxygen bond, yielding an oxygen molecule and an oxygen atom: O3(g) + hν → O2(g) + O(g) (Here, hν denotes a photon.) Suppose a flask of ozone is irradiated with a pulse of UV light of wavelength 275 nm. Assuming that each photon of this pulse that is absorbed breaks up one ozone molecule, calculate the energy absorbed per mole of O2 produced, giving the answer in kJ/mol.
The relationship between photons of light at various energies and wavelengths is Given by E=hv , c=v(wavelength) Therefore, when a photon of energy at wavelength of 275 nm is compared with photons of energy at wavelength of 390 nm and higher we have a decrease in the energy and its dissociation energy that would attack polymeric or chemical bonds of various structures. Therefore, the higher the wavelength the lower the frequency or higher wavelengths have less energy than lower wavelengths 275nm is far greater energy than 390nm or higher. Given we have established light is composed of photons and high energy gamma radiation are also photons but of higher energy does the math for photochemistry given above apply to higher sources of photon energy from gamma and other sources of radiation? If so why or why not. If there is a relationship what equations exist to compare and predict equivalence of standard electromagnetic model wavelength for actinic and visible and IR radiations to more…
