List major sources (biogenic and anthropogenic) of ammonia in the air.
What happen to ammonia when it interacts with water?
As of the writing of this text, EPA standards limit atmospheric ozone levels in urban environments to 84 ppb. How many moles of ozone would there be in the air above Los Angeles County (an area about 4000 square miles; consider a height of 100 m above the ground) if ozone was at this concentration?

- 10 Take a deep breath. What do you know about the air you are breathing? Think and reflect on the following questions and record your thoughts in your Thoughtbook. • What gases are present in the air you breathe? At what concentrations? • Which gas in the air is most essential to your life? • What gases in the air are responsible for acid rain? For global warming? • What other kinds of pollutants are in the air? Can you name any specific chemicals? We will revisit these questions at the end of the learning activity.arrow_forwardList the 2 gases that make acid rain. Provide the source for each of these gases.arrow_forward2.) It’s a bad day in the lab! Two students are doing experiments. Each is 20 feet away from the professor. At the same time, each of them lets the same amount of a smelly gas into the room. One of them releases ammonia, NH3, and the other releases SO2. NH3 has a pungent odor, and SO2 smells like rotten eggs. The professor has no idea that this has happened, until she smell the first gas. Which chemical will the professor smell first? (NH3 or SO2) . If the professor starts to smell the first gas 42. seconds after the gas is released, how long will it take her to smell the second gas? sec. * Note: It is unsafe practice to work with these chemicals in an open lab.arrow_forward
