Question:

The kinetic energy of molecules is often used to induce chemical reactions. The bond energy in an Omolecule is 8.22 × 10-19 j. Can an O2 molecule traveling at 780 m/s provide enough energy to break the O═O bond? What is the minimum velocity of an O2 molecule that would give a kinetic energy capable of breaking the bond if it is converted with 100% efficiency?
