The quantum yield of light-induced chemical reactions (called photochemical reactions) measures the efficiency of the process. The quantum yield, d, is defined 4, as: number of reaction events number of photons absorbed Suppose the quantum yield for the reaction CH;X - CH3 + X is =0.24. A cuvette con- taining a solution of CH3X is irradiated with 280-nm light with a power of 885 mW for 10.0 minutes. Assuming total absorp- tion of the light by the sample, what is the maximum amount (in moles) of CH3X that breaks apart?
