What is the longest wavelength of radiation that possesses the necessary energy to break the bond?

The energy from radiation can be used to cause the rupture of chemical bonds. A minimum energy of 941 kJ/ mol is required to break the nitrogen-nitrogen bond in N_2.



how would i do this?



thank you!What is the longest wavelength of radiation that possesses the necessary energy to break the bond?
I calculate the energy by molecule dividing energy by mole by Avogadro's number (6.022*10^23)

941kJ=9.41*10^5J

so energy by molecule

E= 9.41*10^5/6.022*10^23=1.563*10^-18J



I calculate the wavelength (w) given by E=hc/w



So w= hc/E = 6.6262*10^-34*3*10^8/1.563*10^-18=1.272*鈥?= 127.2nm
