Question

An important reaction in the formation of photochemical
smog is the photodissociation of NO2:
NO2 + hv---->NO(g) + O(g)
The maximum wavelength of light that can cause this reaction
is 420 nm. (a) In what part of the electromagnetic spectrum
is light with this wavelength found? (b) What is the
maximum strength of a bond, in kJ/mol, that can be broken
by absorption of a photon of 420-nm light? (c) Write out the
photodissociation reaction showing Lewis-dot structures.
