the stratospheric ozone (O3) layer helps us protect us from harmful ultraviolet radiation. it does so by absorbing ultraviolet light and falling apart into an o2 molecule and Oxygen atom , a process known as photodissociation. O3(g)= O2 (g) + O2(g) 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?
