Wavelength of light required to break carbon bonds


Assignment:

Without stratospheric ozone (O3), harmful solar radiation would cause gene alterations. Ozone forms when O2 breaks and each O atom reacts with another O2 molecule. It is destroyed by reaction with Cl atoms formed when the C-Cl bond in synthetic chemicals breaks. Find the wavelengths of light that can break the C-Cl bond AND the bond in O2. 2. Carbon-carbon bonds form the 'backbone' of nearly every organic and biological molecule. The average bond energy of the C-C bond is 347 kJ/mol. Calculate the frequency and wavelength of the least energetic photon that can break an average C-C bond. In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is this radiation?

Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
