Concept Introduction:
Energy: The energy is conversed property since it can neither be created nor be destroyed but can be transformed. The energy of the photon is obtained by using the following relation
Wavelength: The distance between the two continuous maximum displacements present in wave or the two continuous minimum displacements present in a wave exhibited by the photons is called wavelength. The wavelength of the photon is inversely proportional to its frequency. The relationship between them is given by the following formula,
Frequency: It denotes the number of waves passes in given amount of time.
To determine: The explanation for the cleavage of

- It requires 364 kJ/mol to break the chemical bond in HBr molecules. 1. What is the longest wavelength (in nm) of light that has enough energy to cause this bond to break? 2. Will HBr molecules in the troposphere be fragmented into atoms?arrow_forwardMore ozone is found in the stratosphere than the troposphere. Why is this?arrow_forwardThe increased temperature in our atmosphere is due to Group of answer choices the trapping of UV radiation from the Sun by greenhouse gases. the absorption of UV radiation from the Sun, by the Earth, and re-radiation as heat (IR) energy. the absorption of IR radiation from the Sun, by the Earth, and re-radiation as heat (UV) energy. the trapping of IR radiation from the Sun by greenhouse gases.arrow_forward

- As of the writing of this text, EPA standards limit atmospheric ozone levels in urban environments to 84 ppb. How many moles of ozone would there be in the air above Los Angeles County (an area about 4000 square miles; consider a height of 100 m above the ground) if ozone was at this concentration?arrow_forward11.7.
