Gases : OzoneMolcsFromppm (10 Variations)
Although ozone is an important component of the upper atmosphere, long-term exposure to ozone in the air we breathe can cause inflammation of the lung, impairment of lung defense mechanisms, and irreversible changes in lung structure. The EPA has set an 8 hour limit for ozone of 0.08 ppm as an air quality standard for cities. At the EPA limit, how many ozone molecules are present in 5.0 liters of air at 25oC and 0.967 atm? (Hint: assume that air is an ideal gas and calculate the total number of molecules there are in 5.0 L. Then use the definition of ppm.)
A Simplified Model To Predict the Effect of Increasing Atmospheric CO2 on Carbonate Chemistry in the OceanBrian J. Bozlee, Maria Janebo, and Ginger Jahn The chemistry of dissolved inorganic carbon in seawater is reviewed and used to predict the potential effect of rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. It is found that calcium carbonate may become unsaturated in cold surface seawater by the year 2100, resulting in the destruction of calcifying organisms such as coral. Bozlee, Brian J.; Janebo, Maria; Jahn, Ginger. J. Chem. Educ.2008, 85, 213.

Experimental Determination of Ultraviolet Radiation Protection of Common MaterialsSusana C. A. Tavares, Joaquim C. G. Esteves de Silva, and João Paiva The oxidation of iodide is used as an indicator for the degree of exposure to UV radiation and to investigate the protection given by a simulation of ozone using plexiglass plates, sunscreen lotions, cotton cloth with different colors, and aqueous solutions with different concentrations of natural organic matter.

"Holes" in Student Understanding: Addressing Prevalent Misconceptions Regarding Atmospheric Environmental ChemistrySara C. Kerr and Kenneth A. Walz This study evaluated the misconception that global warming is caused by holes in the ozone layer, other ideas surrounding atmospheric chemistry that are responsible for the entanglement of the greenhouse effect and ozone depletion in students' conceptual frameworks, and the effectiveness of computer-based online data-analysis exercises to address these shortcomings. Kerr, Sara C.; Walz, Kenneth A. J. Chem. Educ.2007, 84, 1693.
