an experiment to measure the quantum yield of a photochemical reaction, the absorbing substance was exposed to 320. nm radiation from a(n) 96.3 W source for 39.9 min. The intensity of the transmitted radiation was 0.315 that of the incident radiation. As a result of irradiation, 0.108 mol of the absorbing substance decomposed. Evaluate the quantum yield.
