Textbook Question
Chapter 18, Problem 13E
Air pollution in the Mexico City metropolitan area is among the worst in the world. The concentration of ozone in Mexico City has been measured at 441 ppb (0.441 ppm). Mexico City sits at an altitude of 7400 feet, which means its atmospheric pressure is only 0.67 atm.
- Calculate the partial pressure of ozone at 441 ppb if the atmospheric pressure is 0.67 atm.
- How many ozone molecules are in 1.0 L of air in Mexico City? Assume T = 25 ?.

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?
The estimated average concentration of carbon monoxide in air in the United States in 1991 was 6.0ppm. Calculate the number of CO molecules in 1.0L of this air pressure of 754 torr and a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius
Given that the concentration of CH4 in the atmosphere is 1.8 ppm, calculate the total
mass of this gas that is present in the atmosphere. Note that the total mass of the
atmosphere is 5.1 x 1018 kg and that its average molar mass is 29.0 g/mol.
