To break the oxygen-oxygen bonds in a single o2 molecule, 1 × 10–18 j of energy is required. which of the following wavelengths of light could be used to carry out this process?

E = hc/(lamda)

The lamda symbol is wavelength, which this site does not have. I can represent it with an "x" instead.

Plancks constant, h = 6.626×10^-32 J·s

Speed of light, c = 3.00×10^8 m/s

The energy must be greater than or equal to 1×10^-18 J

1×10^-18 J ≤ (6.626×10^-32 J·s)*(3.0×10^8 m/s) / x

x ≤ (6.626×10^-32 J·s)*(3.0×10^8 m/s) / (1×10^-18 J)

x ≤ 1.99×10^-7 m or 199 nm

The wavelength of light must be greater than or equal to 199 nm

acid rain does not usually kill trees directly. instead, it is more likely to weaken the trees by damaging their leaves, limiting the nutrients available to them, or poisoning them with toxic substances slowly released from the soil. the main atmospheric pollutants that affect trees are nitrates and sulphates.

a compound is a molecule made of atoms from different elements.
