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.
Explain the relevance of the 1987 Montreal Protocol and its 2016 Kigali Amendment on regulating ozone depletion.

- Explain the difference between the effects of ground- level ozone and stratospheric ozone. Why is one beneficial to human life, whereas the other is not?arrow_forward4. 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).arrow_forwardThe ultraviolet spectrum can be divided into three regions based on wavelength: UV-A (315–400 nm), UV-B (280–315 nm), and UV-C (100–280 nm) In the absence of ozone, which of these three regions, if any, are absorbed by the atmosphere?arrow_forward
- Without naturally occurring greenhouse gases, Earth's average global temperature would be near 0°F (or -18°C) instead of the actual value of 59°F (15°C). How do atmospheric greenhouse gases warm Earth? Do not use the word “trapped” in your answerarrow_forwardWhich of the following best explains why holes in the ozone layer appear predominantly over the South Pole?A. Formation of ice crystals in stratospheric clouds during the long winters provide surfaces that convert otherwise safe molecules into those that deplete ozone.B. Because of their polarization, free radical chlorine atoms are attracted to the southern magnetic pole where they more effectively serve as catalysts.C. Chlorofluorocarbons combine with higher concentrations of chlorinated carbon compounds from natural sources that are more prevalent in Antarctica.D. Ozone depletion occurs equally all over the globe, but the ozone layer is naturally thinner over Antarctica.Reset SelectionMark for Review What’s This?arrow_forwardHow do chemists know that none of the individual Lewis structures of ozone are not accurate depictions of an ozone molecule, and how is this discrepancy addressed?arrow_forward
- 2.) It’s a bad day in the lab! Two students are doing experiments. Each is 20 feet away from the professor. At the same time, each of them lets the same amount of a smelly gas into the room. One of them releases ammonia, NH3, and the other releases SO2. NH3 has a pungent odor, and SO2 smells like rotten eggs. The professor has no idea that this has happened, until she smell the first gas. Which chemical will the professor smell first? (NH3 or SO2) . If the professor starts to smell the first gas 42. seconds after the gas is released, how long will it take her to smell the second gas? sec. * Note: It is unsafe practice to work with these chemicals in an open lab.arrow_forwardA friend of yours has seen each of the following items innewspaper articles and would like an explanation: (a)acid rain, (b) greenhouse gas, (c) photochemical smog,(d) ozone depletion. Give a brief explanation of each term andidentify one or two of the chemicals associated with each.arrow_forwardChapter #3, Question #13: Consider the following data for total atmospheric column ozone measurements (as DU) at three locations around the Earth, obtained using the TOMS in 2001.
