    This document provides three example questions involving photochemistry: 1. The first question asks about the wavelength and region of the electromagnetic spectrum for light emitted during relaxation of excited singlet molecular oxygen to the ground state, and whether the light is fluorescence or phosphorescence. 2. The second question involves calculating the maximum wavelength capable of dissociating the O=O double bond in oxygen, and whether photodissociation would actually occur based on oxygen's absorption spectrum. 3. The third question involves calculating the maximum wavelength capable of photodissociating NO2, whether the reaction can occur in the troposphere based on NO2's absorption spectrum, the color NO2 would appear, and deriving an expression

    Example Questions involving Photochemistry

    1. The energy gap between the triplet ground state and the excited singlet state for
    molecular oxygen is 90 kJ mol-1. Calculate the wavelength of photons given off if an
    excited state singlet relaxes to the ground state with the emission of light. What region of
    the electromagnetic spectrum is this? Is the light emitted fluorescence or
    phosphorescence?

    [Ans: λ = 1330 nm; IR region; Phosphorescence]

    2. The bond dissociation energy of an O=O double bond is given in Appendix B3 (text)
    as 497 kJ mol-1.
    a) Calculate the maximum wavelength of photons capable of this dissociation.
    b) Based on the information given in the figure below, (Fig 3.2; text), do you expect
    photodissociation to actually occur at this wavelength?

    [Ans: λ < 241 nm; No, O2 does not absorb appreciably at λ > 200 nm]

    3. Consider the reactions below that correspond to the production of ground level ozone.
    [1] NO2 + hv Æ NO + O f1
    [2] O + O2 + M Æ O3 + M k2
    [3] NO + O3 Æ NO2 + O2 k3
    a) Using the values of ΔHof in Appendix B2 (text), calculate the maximum wavelength of
    light that is capable of photodissociating NO2.
    b) Given the absorption spectrum of NO2 (below), do you expect this reaction to occur in
    the troposphere?
    c) What colour do you expect for NO2 to appear?
    d) Appling the steady state approximation to the [NO], derive an expression for the
    steady state [O3].

    [Ans: λ <391 nm; Yes, NO2 has a strong absorption in the 300 – 500 nm and there plenty
    of UV-a photons in the troposphere to carry out this reaction; absorbs blue,∴appears
    orange-brown;[O3]=f1[NO2]/k3[NO] ]
