Photobromination of cinnamic acid to dibromocinnamic acid was carried out in blue light of wavelength 440nm at 35degree celsius using light intensity of 1.5 *10 power -3 joule per second. An exposure of 20 minutes produces a decrease of 0.075 millimoles of bromine. The solution absorb 80% of light passing through it. Calculate the quantum yield of the reaction.
Peroxyacyl nitrates contain two relatively weak bonds that can be broken by low-energy photons. The weakest is the N−O bond in the nitrate functional group of the molecule with a standard bond-dissociation energy of 201 kJ/mol. What is the longest wavelength of a photon, in nanometers, that has enough energy to cause the photodissociation of the weakest bond. Assume all energy of the photon is efficiently used for the photodissociation.
When benzophenone is exposed to ultraviolet radiation, it is excited into a singlet state. This singlet changes rapidly into a triplet, which phosphoresces. Triethylamine acts as a quencher for the triplet. In an experiment in the solvent methanol, the phosphorescence intensity varied with amine concentration as shown below. [Q]/(mol·dm−3) 0.0010 0.0050 0.0100 If/(arbitrary units) 0.41 0.25 0.16 A time-resolved laser spectroscopy experiment had also shown that the half-life of the phosphorescence in the absence of a quencher is 38 µs. What is the value of kQ?
