Some indoor air-purification systems work by converting a little of the oxygen in the air to ozone, which oxidizes mold and mildew spores and other biological air pollutants. The chemical equation for the ozone generation reaction is:
It is claimed that one such system generates 4.00 g O3 per hour from dry air passing through the purifier at a flow of 5.00 L/min.
If one liter of indoor air contains 0.280 g of O2, what mole fraction of O2 is converted to O3 by the air purifier? What is the percent yield of the ozone generation reaction?

When detonated by a spark, AND rapidly decomposes to produce a gaseous mixture of N2,O2, and H2O. (This is not a combustion reaction. The ADN is the only reactant.) The reaction releases a lot of heat, so the gases are initially formed at high temperature and pressure. The thrust of the rocket results mainly from the expansion of this gas mixture. Suppose a 2.3-kg sample of ADN is denoted and decomposes completely to give N2,O2, and H2O. If the resulting gas mixture expands until it reaches a temperature of 100°C and a pressure of 1.00 atm, what volume will it occupy?
