Question

The light sensitive compound on most photographic films is silver bromide AgBr. A film is exposed when the light energy absorbed dissociates this molecule into its atoms. The energy of dissociation of AgBr is 105Jmol1. For a photon that is just able to dissociate a molecule of AgBr, the photon energy is
  1. 1.04 eV
  2. 2.08 eV
  3. 3.12 eV
  4. 4.16 eV

A
1.04 eV
B
4.16 eV
C
2.08 eV
D
3.12 eV
Solution
Verified by Toppr

1 mole of AgBr contains 6.022×1023 molecules and 1J of energy is equivalent to 6.24×1018eV.
Thus, energy needed to dissociate 1 molecule of AgBr is given by:

E=105×6.24×10186.022×1023=1.04eV
