The maximum rate I at which oxygen molecules can be consumed by a bacterium or radius R in a lake where the concentration of oxygen is co = 0.2 mole m³ increases with the first power of R. We might expect the oxygen consumption, however, to increase roughly with an organism's volume. Together, this statements imply an upper limit to the size of a bacterium: If R gets too large, the bacterium would literally suffocate. The actual metabolic activity of a bacterium is about 0.02 mole kg-' sl. What limit do you then get on the size R of a bacterium? Compare to the size of a real bacteria. Can you think of some way for a bacterium to evade this limit?

The 1995 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was shared by Paul Crutzen, F. Sherwood Rowland, and Mario Molina for their work concerning the formation and decomposition of ozone in the stratosphere. Rowland and Molina hypothesized that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the stratosphere break down upon exposure to UV radiation, producing chlorine atoms. Chlorine was previously identified as a catalyst in the breakdown of ozone into oxygen gas. Using the enthalpy of reaction for two reactions with ozone, determine the enthalpy of reaction for the reaction of chlorine with ozone.
