- What is the biological importance of stratospheric ozone? Explain.arrow_forwardWhen ozone levels in urban area reach unhealthy levels, residents are typically urged to avoid refuelingtheir cars during daylight hours. Explain how this might help to reduce smog formation?arrow_forwardWhat properties of CFCs make them ideal for various commercialapplications but also make them a long-term problemin the stratosphere?arrow_forward
- O3 is produced in the troposphere through the photochemical oxidation of NO2. The photolytically formed O3 reacts with NO to regenerate NO2through the following reaction:O3(g) + NO(g) → NO2(g) + O2(g) Calculate the equilibrium constant (K) of the reaction at 100 °C and 1 atm.arrow_forwardWhich of the following reactions in the stratosphere causean increase in temperature there?(a) O(g) + O2(g)---->O3*(g)(b) O3*(g) + M(g)---->O3(g) + M*(g)(c) O2(g) + hv---->2O(g)(d) O(g) + N2(g)---->NO(g) + N(g)(e) All of the abovearrow_forwardWrite by equations the formation of O3 in a photochemical smogarrow_forward
- The amount of anthropogenic SO2 emission from Pakistan was 180 kilo tonnes(kt) in 20191.How many grams of SO2 were emitted to the atmosphere?How many grams of Sulfur was emitted to the Atmosphere?Pakistan population was 216.6 million in 2019. How many kg of solidSulfur/Head was emitted?arrow_forwardGive explanation of the correct option and explanation of the incorrect options. Hand written solutions strictly prohibited.arrow_forward(a) When chlorine atoms react with atmospheric ozone,what are the products of the reaction? (b) Based on averagebond enthalpies, would you expect a photon capable ofdissociating a C—Cl bond to have sufficient energy to dissociatea C—Br bond? (c) Would you expect the substanceCFBr3 to accelerate depletion of the ozone layer?arrow_forward
- A friend of yours has seen each of the following items innewspaper articles and would like an explanation: (a)acid rain, (b) greenhouse gas, (c) photochemical smog,(d) ozone depletion. Give a brief explanation of each term andidentify one or two of the chemicals associated with each.arrow_forward1. What are the three main types of greenhouse gases, what are their respective characterization factors or global warming potential? 2. What is meant by the efficiency of a solar panel (PV) and what are the implications for a solar farm? 3. How is energy extracted from wind and what are the implications for a wind farm? 4. For a wind turbine, what is the impact of the wind speed on the electricity production and how does the design of the wind turbine dictate its efficiency? What control strategies can be used to optimise the performance of wind turbines? How can energy be extracted geothermally. Explain how geothermal energy can be utilised to contribute towards heat demand and what is the role of co-produced water. 5. 6.arrow_forwardThe concentration of SO2 in the troposphere over a certain region is 0.87 ppm by volume. The gas dissolves rainwater as follows: =2 SO2(g) + H2O(1) H*(aq) + HSO3¯¯(aq) Given that the equilibrium constant for the preceding reaction is 1.3 × 102, calculate the pH of the rainwater. Assume that the reaction does not affect the partial pressure of SO2. pH=5.6 Xarrow_forward
