Question
The amount of chlorophylla (M, 892) in a spinach leaf is about 20 µg/cm² of leaf. In midday sunlight, the
average rate of energy reaching the leaf is 5.4 J/cm². min.
Assuming an average photon energy of 270 kJ/einstein and that the leaf absorbs 50.0% of the radiation,
calculate the rate of light absorption by the photons in units of einstein/cm²-min.
Number
rate= 1.6× 10¹4
Calculate the amount of time, in seconds, that it takes for a single chlorophyll molecule to absorb a photon.
The molar mass of chlorophyll is 892 g/mol.
