The dissociation energy of H2 is 430.53 KJ/mol. If H2 is exposed to radiant energy of wavelength 253.7 nm, what % of radiant energy will be converted into KE?

Question

Ramesh V · Answer

The bond dissociation energy for the H-H bond is the energy required to break the H 2 molecule (in its most stable geometry) into separate hydrogen atoms. Radiant energy = 1242 eV-nm / 253.7 nm = 4.895 eV = 7.843x10 -19 J 1 mole of electrons is 6.022 x 10 23 electrons so radiant energy = 472.28 KJ/mol dissoc. energy = 430.53 KJ/mol KE = rad. enrgy - dissoc. energy = 472.28 - 430.53 =41.75 KJ/mol % of rad. enrgy to KE is = 41.75*100/472.28 = 8.84 % -- Please feel free to post as many doubts on our disucssion forum as you can.
