In the photolytic cleavage of water by the oxygen-evolving complex [2H₂O $\rightarrow$ 4 H⁺ + 4e^- + O₂], how many photons of light at a wavelength of 680 nm are required?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Four photons of light are required in the photolytic cleavage of water by the oxygen-evolving complex, as this process involves the absorption of four photons to drive the splitting of two water molecules into molecular oxygen, protons, and electrons.
