Question
The initial step in the formation of O3 from O2 in the stratosphere is the absorption of light by 02, which causes it to split into O atoms.
The balanced chemical equation for this process is
02 (g) → 2 0 (g)
If AHP for O (g) is +249.17 kJ/mole, what wavelength of light, in nm, must be absorbed by 02 to make this reaction occur? Enter only the
numerical portion of your answer in the space provided, to the correct number of significant figures; do not enter the units.
