In trichlorofluoromethane refrigerant (CCl3F, also known as Freon-11, R-11, or CFC-11),
there are 3 C-Cl bonds. When these are photochemically broken by solar radiation in the
stratosphere, free Cl atoms produced can catalytically destroy ozone, O3. If the C-Cl bond energy is 331 kJ/mol, calculate the energy in J to break one C-Cl bond, the
frequency of light that corresponds to this photon energy, and the wavelength in nm of this light.
What do we call light in this wavelength region? (visible, UV, IR, etc)
