The graph shows the potential energy curve for a system of two oxygen atoms.  Imagine the two atoms are in a bound state. If they are 0.1 nm apart and have no kinetic energy, what is the minimum amount of energy (in Joules) that needs to be added to the system in order to break the bond?
The two nuclei in the carbon monoxide (CO) molecules are 0.1128 nm apart.  The mass of the carbon atom is 1.993x10-26 kg.  The mass of the oxygen atom is 2.656x10-26 kg.  Spectroscopic measurements show that adjacent vibrational energy levels for the CO molecule are 0.269 eV.   What is the effective spring constant of the CO molecule? (Give your answer in N/m.)
