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).
15. Carbon dioxide makes up approximately 0.04% of Earth's atmosphere.
If you collect a 2.0-L sample from the atmosphere at sea level (101.33 kPa)
on a warm day at 27 °C, how many CO2 molecules are in your sample? *
a. 5 x 10^20
b. 5 x 10^21
O c. 5x 10^22
d. 5 x 10^23
1. What is the greenhouse effect?
2. What is good about the greenhouse effect? (Give at least two reasons.)
3. What is the most important greenhouse gas in the troposphere?
