Chapter 11, Problem 11.86PAE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Ozone is unstable in troposphere should be identified.

Concept introduction:

The nascent oxygen reacts with the molecular oxygen to produce ozone gas as follows:

$\text{O }+{\text{ O}}_{\text{2}}+\text{ M} \to {\text{O}}_{\text{3}}+\text{ M}$

Ozone is present in the stratosphere in which the 2^nd layer from the surface of after comes after troposphere.

The pressure of the layers is as follows:

The pressure of ozone in the stratosphere is $\text{1}.\text{4 }\times \text{ 1}{0}^{-\text{4}}\text{mili bar}$

The pressure of stratosphere is 1 milibar

The pressure of troposphere is $\text{2}00\text{ milibar}$
