Chapter 18, Problem 33E
Alcohol-based fuels for automobiles lead to the production of formaldehyde (CH2O) in exhaust gases. Formaldehyde undergoes photodissociation, which contributes to photochemical smog:
CH2O + hv → CHO + H
The maximum
- In what part of the
electromagnetic spectrum is light with this wavelength found? - What is the maximum strength of a bond, in kJ/mol, that can be broken by absorption of a photon of 335-nm light?
- Compare you answer from part (b) to the appropriate value from Table 8.3. What do you conclude about C-H bond energy in formaldehyde?
- Write out the formaldehyde photodissociation reaction, showing Lewis-dot structures.

Bond dissociation energies are often measured by determining the wavelength of ultraviolet photons needed to cause a covalent bond between two atoms to break. A single photon absorbed by a molecule will cause the bond to break between two atoms. If a bond dissociation energy is 450 kJ/mole, what wavelength of photon, in nm, will cause the bond to break?
