Problem
A photochemical reaction with ΔG∘=+225kJ mol−1 proceeds only when exactly two photons are absorbed per mole of reaction. Assuming one absorbed photon directly supplies its entire energy to the reaction and the quantum yield is 1.0, calculate the longest wavelength of light (in nm) capable of driving the reaction at 298K. (Planck's constant h=6.626×10−34J s; speed of light c=3.00×108m s−1; Avogadro's number Na=6.022×1023mol−1.)
