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.

You may assume that gasoline is entirely octane, which has the following combustion equation: 2 C3H18 (1) + 25 O2 (g) → 16 CO2 (g) + 18 H20 (g) Useful information: • 1 gallon = 3.7854 L. • This combustion occurs in excess O2. • The density of octane is p =703 g/L. • The molar mass of CO2 is 44.01 g/mol. • The molar mass of octane is 114.23 g/mol.arrow_forwardHow many kg of CO2 are emitted from an automobile that completely combusts all the gasoline in its 13.9 gallon fuel tank? You may assume that gasoline is entirely octane, which has the following combustion equation: 2 C3H18 (1) + 25 O2 (g) → 16 CO2 (g) + 18 H20 (g) Useful information: 1 gallon = 3.7854 L. • This combustion occurs in excess O2. • The density of octane is p = 703 g/L. • The molar mass of CO, is 44.01 g/mol. • The molar mass of octane is 114.23 g/mol.
