Hi all
I am an Mechanical Engineering major and I had a quick chemistry question. This may be crazy since I only had 2 semesters of College Chem
If I had a tank of just bromine gas. Now my understanding is that these diatomic bonds can be broken by simply exposing the gas to sunlight. If I were to bombard the tank with radiation and light. To break up all the bonds (hypothetically) and then subsequently shielded the gas and allowed the bonds to reform would generate heat and at what rate.
I read that the bonding for diatomic bromine is 192KJ per mole. So its possible for me to get that energy out as heat correct?
Then there is the question of the rate of reformation. How long would this take? what information would I need to study such a reaction? Is this Pchem?
Any help that can be provided is much apprecaited. Thanks in advance.
