The average length of an O–O single bond is 132 pm. The average length of an O–O double bond is 121 pm. What do you predict the O–O bond lengths will be in ozone? Will they all be the same? Explain your predictions.
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?
Discuss the activity of ozone as a greenhouse gas. Write down the chemical reactions of ozone depletion.
