Question

This is a practice question for the AP exam... In the upper atmosphere, ozone molecules decompose as theyabsorb ultraviolet (UV) radiation, as shown in the equation below.Ozone serves to block harmful ultraviolet radiation that comes fromthe sun. O3 (g) -----UV----> O2 (g) + O(g) A molecule of O3 (g) absorbs a photon withfrequency of 1.00 x1015 s-1. ... A.) How much energy, in joules, does the O3 (g) moleculeabsorb per photon? B.) The minimum energy needed to break an oxygen-oxygen bondin ozone is 387 kJ mol-1. Does a photon with frequency1.00 x1015 s-1 have enough energy to breakthis bond? Support your answer with a calculation. This is a practice question for the AP exam...

Explanation / Answer

Are you sure your frequency is correct? I think perhaps you put a negative exponent where there should have been a positive exponent (i.e. 1 x 10^+15)
