The stratospheric ozone 1O32 layer helps to protect us

Chapter , Problem 6.106

(choose chapter or problem)

The stratospheric ozone 1O32 layer helps to protect us from harmful ultraviolet radiation. It does so by absorbing ultraviolet light and falling apart into an O2 molecule and an oxygen atom, a process known as photodissociation. O31g2 O21g2 + O1g2 Use the data in Appendix C to calculate the enthalpy change for this reaction. What is the maximum wavelength a photon can have if it is to possess sufficient energy to cause this dissociation? In what portion of the spectrum does this wavelength occur?
