In a photochemical experiment it is observed that 5.78×10-5 mol of uranyl oxalate is decomposed at a wavelength of 300 nm emitted by a lamp in one hour. When acetone was irradiated with the same lamp for 10 hours, the amount of acetone decomposed was found to be 2.32× 10-4 mol. What is quantumyield for the acetone decomposition under the same condition?
