Ozone is a trace atmospheric gas which plays an important role in screening the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation, and the abundance of ozone is commonly reported in Dobson units. Imagine a column passing up through the atmosphere. The total amount of O3 in the column divided by its cross-sectional area is reported in Dobson units with 1 Du = 0.4462 mmol m−2. What amount of O3 (in moles) is found in a column of atmosphere with a cross-sectional area of 1.00 dm2 if the abundance is 250 Dobson units (a typical midlatitude value)? In the seasonal Antarctic ozone hole, the column abundance drops below 100 Dobson units; how many moles of O3 are found in such a column of air above a 1.00 dm2 area? Most atmospheric ozone is found between 10 and 50 km above the surface of the Earth. If that ozone is spread uniformly through this portion of the atmosphere, what is the average molar concentration corresponding to (a) 250 Dobson units, (b) 100 Dobson units?
When studying the photochemical processes that can occur in the upper atmosphere, it is important to know how often atoms and molecules collide.

Use the kinetic theory to justify the following observations: (a) the rate of a reaction in the gas phase depends on the energy with which two molecules collide, which in turn depends on their speeds; (b) in the Earth’s atmosphere, light gases, such as H2 and He, are rare but heavier gases, such as O2, CO2, and N2, are abundant.
