The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

It takes 338. kJ/mol to break an carbon-chlorine single bond. Cal broken by absorbing a single photon Iculate the maximum wavelength of light for which an carbon-chiorine single bond could be Round your answer to 3 significant digits

Answer:

3.55 × 10^-7 m or 355 nm

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, the energy of the photon = 338 × 10^3/6.02 × 10^23 = 5.61 × 10^-19 J

Recall that;

E= hc/λ

h= planks constant

c= speed of light

λ = wavelength

λ =hc/E

λ = 6.63 ×10^-34 × 3 × 10^8/5.61 × 10^-19

λ =3.55 × 10^-7 m or 355 nm
