Calculate energy of half mole of photons of a radiation with frequency \(3 \times 10^{12} \mathrm{~Hz}\).

  • A
    \(598.2 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)
  • Correct answer
    B
    \(0.598 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)
  • C
    \(1.196 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)
  • D
    \(119.6 \mathrm{~kJ} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\)

Solution

Energy of a photon, \(E=h v\), where, \(v=\) frequency \(=3 \times 10^{12} \mathrm{~Hz}\) Therefore, energy \(=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^{12} \mathrm{~Hz}=1.9878 \times 10^{-21} \mathrm{~J}\) 1 mole \(=6.02 \times 10^{23}\) photons, therefore, \(\frac{1}{2}\) mole \(=3.01 \times 10^{23}\) photons Therefore, energy of \(\frac{1}{2}\) mole of photons \(\begin{aligned} & =1.9878 \times 10^{-21} \times 3.01 \times 10^{23} \\ & =0.5982 \mathrm{~kJ} / \mathrm{mol} \end{aligned}\) Hence, the correct option is (b).

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
