Chapter 11, Problem 11.88PAE

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Strategies for controlling dangerous level of ozone at chemical level.

Concept introduction: The ozone can be produced with the help of nascent oxygen when it reacts with oxygen gas as follows:

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

Thus, by controlling the concentration of nascent oxygen, the level of dangerous ozone can be controlled.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Strategies at societal level for controlling dangerous level of ozone should be identified.

Concept introduction: The ozone can be produced with the help of nascent oxygen when it reacts with oxygen gas as follows:

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

Thus, by controlling the concentration of nascent oxygen, the level of dangerous ozone can be controlled.
