The reactant 1,3-cyclohexadiene can be photochemically converted to cis-hexatriene. In an experiment, 3.5 mmol of cyclohexadiene are converted to cis-hexatriene when irradiated with 100 W of 280 nm light for 20 seconds. All of the light is absorbed by the sample.

A 25.0 mL aliquot was taken from a 500.0 mL sample of tonic water containing an unknown amount of quinine and diluted to a volume of 200 mL. At 347.5 nm, the fluorescence intensity of the diluted sample was measured 85.7 an arbitrary scale. Under similar conditions, a 27.5 ppm standard quinine solution had a fluorescence intensity of 185. Calculate the mass of quinine in the original tonic water sample in mg. Do not include units in your answer.
Blue dye can be decolorized by treatment with bleach. The kinetics of the reaction can be studied by testing the absorbance of the solution over time. At the start of an experiment, the blue dye had a concentration of 9.05 × 10–6 M and an absorbance of 0.70 at the observed maximum wavelength. The path length of the cell is 1.00 cm. What is the molar absorptivity of the blue dye?
The photochemical formation of molecule Z uses a radiation of 300 nm. The sample is irradiated with 100W of this radiation. The quantum yield is 0.2. If the sample absorbs only 50% of the radiation falling on it, then find the amount of Z formed in one second?
In the photochemical decomposition of ethylene iodide, C2H4I2 + hv --> C2H4 + I2, with radiation of 4240 Å, the iodine formed after 20 minutes required 41.14 mL of 0.0050 N sodium thiosulfate solution. The intensity of the light source was 9.15 erg/sec. Calculate the quantum yield assuming absorption of the energy was complete.
Quinine in a 1.939-g tablet was to be analyzed by dissolving it with 0.10 M HCl to a final volume of exactly 500 mL. This solution was diluted by adding 50.00 mL to a 100.0 mL flask and diluting to the mark. Afterwards the fluorescence intensity was found to be 394 in arbitrary units. Under identical experimental conditions, a standard 150.0-ppm had an intensity of 184.Quinine in a 1.939-g tablet was to be analyzed by dissolving it with 0.10 M HCl to a final volume of exactly 500 mL.

3. In a pulse radiolysis experiment, H atoms are suddenly created in liquid ethanol (density 0.79 g cm) containing 8 mM ethene. The initial concentration of H atoms falls to half its value in 1.8 ns. Two different radical products are detected by ESR, CH;CH2 and CH;CHOH, in the ratio 1:3. H+ CH2=CH2 → CH3CH2 (1) H+ CH3CH2OH → H2 + CH3ĊHOH (2) Calculate the pseudo-first-order rate constant for H decay, and thence determine the second-order rate constants for reactions (1) and (2).

The first step in plant photosynthesis is absorption of light by chlorophyll molecules bound to proteins known as ‘light-harvesting complexes’, where the fluorescence of a chlorophyll molecule is quenched by other nearby chlorophyll molecules.
