The Energy of Light
9. Quantum Mechanics / The Energy of Light / Problem 3

The photodissociation of ozone happens in the troposphere: 

O3 + hν → O2 + O 

A light with a maximum wavelength of 320 nm can initiate this reaction. Calculate the maximum bond strength (kJ/mol) that can be broken by the absorption of 320 nm light.
