How does ozone differ from oxygen in its chemical formula? In its properties?
Interpretation:
The ozone differ from oxygen in its chemical formula and in properties, the reason has to be discussed.
Explanation of Solution
The chemical formula of Oxygen and Ozone are
Physical property: Oxygen odorless whereas Ozone has very strong odor.
Chemical property: both are reactive; Ozone is more reactive than Oxygen.
Oxygen is a vital for the survival of living species; ozone is a harmful air pollutant in the troposphere. Ozone in the stratosphere plays vital role in blocking the harmful Ultraviolet radiation from the Sun.

- Ariana plans to react a sample of magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to generate magnesium chloride (MgCl2), carbon dioxide gas (CO2), and liquid water (H2O). Write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding atomic Br and Cl is FALSE? O Atomic Br is more efficient at catalytically destroying ozone than atomic Cl in the stratosphere due to a relatively higher proportion of the Br atoms being in a catalytically active form at any given time.arrow_forwardWrite by equations the formation of O3 in a photochemical smogarrow_forward
- The equation for photosynthesis is 6H2O (water) + 6CO2 (carbon dioxide) + Light Energy → C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2(oxygen). When first discovered, scientists were trying to decide if the oxygen in the product came from carbon dioxide or water. Which statement describes how scientists traced the path of oxygen?arrow_forwardCalcium carbide, CaC2, reacts with water to form acetylene, C2H2, and calcium hydroxide. Write a balanced equation for this reaction. (You do not need to write the states.) If you were designing the procedure for producing acetylene from calcium carbide and water, which of the reactants would you have as the limiting reactant? Why? Assuming 100% yield from the limiting reactant, what are the approximate amounts of CaC2 and water that you would combine to form 127 g of C2H2?arrow_forwardDescribe two ways that people can change their habits and choices to reduce their personal greenhouse gas emissions. In each case, be clear about how the change reduces emissions.arrow_forward
- Solar winds composed of free protons, electrons, and particles bombard Earth constantly, knocking gas molecules outof the atmosphere. In this way, Earth loses about 3.0 kg of mat-ter per second. It is estimated that the atmosphere will be gone inabout 50 billion years. Use this estimate to calculate (a) the mass(kg) of Earth’s atmosphere and (b) the amount (mol) of nitrogen,which makes up 75.5 mass % of the atmosphere.arrow_forwardOzone is depleted in the stratosphere by chlorine from CF3Cl according to this set of equations:CF3Cl + UV light -------> CF3 + ClCl + O3 ------>ClO + O2O3 + UV light ---------> O2 + OClO + O ----------->Cl + O2 What total volume of ozone at a pressure of 25.0 mmHg and a temperature of 225 K is destroyed when all of the chlorine from 15.0 g of CF3Cl goes through ten cycles of the above reactions?arrow_forwardLl.167.arrow_forward
