I need to calculate quantum yield. Given Data:

*Laser at "x" nm, incident power of "y" watts

*"z" moles photochemical product after "t" seconds

*%T = "%T"

all of those variables are given, how would I find the quantum yield? I read through the section like 3 times and it still makes no sense, and my teacher is gone to bed by now..

I read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_yield and it seems to make some sense at first glance...

Q= photons emitted/photons absorbed

is that related to the givens?

I was thinking about taking P-chem as one of the courses for my Chem Minor, but chose to do senior research instead. If you need help with Biochem or physiology, those are the two science courses I'm taking. GL with p-chem though.

The only people who will be able to help you are Chem majors, Biochem majors, or people who just like p-chem for some reason. So basically, you are asking a small minority on the forum. Might just be easier to e-mail the teacher =/

I miss your blog on Organic Chemistry second semester. Damn, those were the days. I love O-chem....

The teacher is notorious for not answering emails lol.. plus he always gives very vague answers to questions, or just points to a section in the book. Ugh..

Assuming quantum yield is just molecules product/photons absorbed
then (assuming all photons incident on the sample are absorbed):

number of photons = Power (J/s) / Energy of a photon (J)
(E = hc/wavelength)

number of molecules = n (mol) * Na (1/mol) / t (s)

T% = num molecules (molecules/s) / number of photons (photons/s)

Thanks, thats actually the same method that I ended up using. *insert rant about how the other text book that we dont even use is way more clear than the text book our professor is writing/teaching from* ... but anyways, %T is the percent transmittance. The only thing I'm confused about is why he gave that information if we didn't end up using it.. owell, this looks pretty damn good to me, esp now that you confirmed it.

This is true.. If he were asking for high school chemistry or something a lot more people could probably help(including me, yay!). Luckily micronesia is a science gosu though...
