The photosynthesis efficiency of a strain of algae was measured by irradiating it for 100 s with an absorbed intensity of 10 W and an average wavelength of 550 nm. The yield of O, was 5.75 × 10-4 mol. Calculate the quantum yield of O2 formation. (The quantum yield per "equivalent" of photochemistry is four times this value, since four electrons must be removed from two water molecules to produce each O2.)
