Explanation / Answer

A)

we have:

wavelength = 3.49*10^-7 m

1st calculate energy of 1 photon

we have:

wavelength = 3.49*10^-7 m

we have below equation to be used:

Energy = Planck constant*speed of light/wavelength

=(6.626*10^-34 J.s)*(3.0*10^8 m/s)/(3.49*10^-7 m)

= 5.696*10^-19 J

number of photon = total energy/energy of 1 photon

n = 14.8/5.696*10^-19

= 2.598*10^19

number of mol of Napthalene = M*V

= 0.120 M * 7.00 mL

= 0.84 mmol

= 8.4*10^-4 mol

we have below equation to be used:

number of molecules = number of mol * Avogadro’s number

number of molecules = 8.4*10^-4 * 6.022*10^23 molecules

number of molecules = 5.058*10^20 molecules

% of molecules emitted = number of photons * 100 / number of molecules

= (2.598*10^19)*100/(5.058*10^20)

= 5.14 %

Answer: 5.14 %
