Why is ground level ozone most likely to reach its highest concentrations on hot, sunny days during periods of heavy traffic in large cities?
7) Explain how NOx and SOx gases contribute to acid rain.
8) Explain how CFCS contribute to the destruction of the ozone layer.
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?

- 4. 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_forwardWhen ozone levels in urban area reach unhealthy levels, residents are typically urged to avoid refuelingtheir cars during daylight hours.

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_forward
