The N-N bond energy is difficult to measure. Given the values of 190 kJ/mol for the N-Cl bond energy and 240 kJ/mol for the Cl-Cl bond energy, determine the maximum de Broglie wavelength of an electron capable of breaking the N-N bond.

Question

The N-N bond energy is difficult to measure. Given the values of 190 kJ/mol for the N-Cl	bond energy and 240 kJ/mol for the Cl-Cl bond energy, determine the maximum de Broglie wavelength of an electron capable of breaking the N-N bond.

bonjo · Answer

rearrange the formula BE(NCl)= sqrt[BE(NN)x BE(ClCl)] + 96.3[X(N)- X(Cl)]^2 to find the bond energy for N-N. then use the de Broglie equation to find the wavelength.

bonjo · Answer

the velocity of the electron is sqrt(2E/m) where E is the bond energy for NN and m is the mass of electron.
