Well, breaking up N2 molecules can be quite a tough nut to crack, but don't worry, I'm here to help crack a good joke instead. So, the maximum wavelength of light that will still break apart these molecules? Let's see...
Why did the molecule go to the therapist?
Because it was feeling a bit "bonded" and wanted to break free!
Okay, okay, I know, you're looking for a serious answer. Let's get back on track. The equation you're using, E = hc/λ, is correct. The only problem seems to be with the units.
First, let's convert the given energy from kJ to J. 945.0 kJ/mol is equal to 945.0 x 10^3 J/mol.
Next, we'll stick to SI units. Planck's constant (h) is approximately 6.626 x 10^-34 J·s and the speed of light (c) is about 3.00 x 10^8 m/s.
Finally, we can rearrange the equation to solve for the maximum wavelength (λ). Taking all these values into account, λ = hc/E.
Plug in the values and you should get the correct answer. Just remember to double-check your units to ensure they are consistent throughout the calculation!
And, hey, if you're still feeling puzzled, I'm here with more jokes to lighten the mood!
