Textbook Question
Chapter 1.12, Problem 1.25CT
Summarize what you have learned about ozone formation by developing your own way to arrange these chemicals sequentially and in relation to one another: O, O2, O3, VOCs, NO, and NO2. Chemicals may appear as many times as you like. You also may wish to include sunlight.

Why is ground level ozone most likely to reach its highest concentrations on hot, sunny days during periods of heavy traffic in large cities?
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?
4. Photochemical smog is a type of air pollution in the troposphere of our planet produced when sunlight
acts upon motor vehicle exhaust gases to form harmful substances such as ozone (O3). For example,
nitrogen dioxide (NO2) reacts with atmospheric oxygen (O2) in the presence of light to produce ozone (O3)
and nitrogen monoxide (NO).

- 2.) 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_forwardExplain the role of ozone gas in troposphere and stratosphere.

- Which of the following best explains why holes in the ozone layer appear predominantly over the South Pole?A. Formation of ice crystals in stratospheric clouds during the long winters provide surfaces that convert otherwise safe molecules into those that deplete ozone.B. Because of their polarization, free radical chlorine atoms are attracted to the southern magnetic pole where they more effectively serve as catalysts.C. Chlorofluorocarbons combine with higher concentrations of chlorinated carbon compounds from natural sources that are more prevalent in Antarctica.D. Ozone depletion occurs equally all over the globe, but the ozone layer is naturally thinner over Antarctica.Reset SelectionMark for Review What’s This?arrow_forwardEnvironmental engineers and scientists have reported that ozone depletion is a real problem.
