Ozone is a toxic gas and is a strong oxidising agent even then its presence in the stratosphere is very important. Explain what would happen if ozone from this region is completely removed ?

Answer»

Solution :The ozone layer in the stratosphere is a natural feature of the EARTH.s environment. The ozone layer exists between 20 to 35 km above the earth surface layer. This layer protects the earth from the harmful effects of the ultraviolet RADIATION of the sun.

Oxygen is present in a 1-litre flask at a pressure of 7.6 xx 10^(-10) mmHg at 0°C. Calculate the number of oxygen molecules in the flask.

Answer»

Solution :PRESSURE `=7.6 xx 10^(-10)` mm
`=0.76 xx 10^(-10) cm`
`=(0.76 xx 10^(-10))/76` ATM (1 atm = 76 cm)
`=10^(-12)` atm
Volume = 1 litre, R = 0.0821 lit. Atm/K/mole. Temperature = 273 K
We know that pV = nRT or `n=(pV)/(RT)`
`n=(10^(-12) xx 1)/(0.0821 xx 273) = 0.44 xx 10^(-13)`
No. of molecules = no. of MOLES `xx` AV. const.
`=0.44 xx 10^(-13) xx 6.022 xx 10^(23) = 2.65 xx 10^(10)`

Oxygen is present in a 1 litre flask at a pressure of 7.6 xx 10^(-10) mm of Hg. Calculate the number of oxygen molecules in the flask at 0^@C

Answer»

Solution :According to the ideal gas equation,
PV = nRT
In the present case,
`P= 7.6 XX 10^(-10)mm = (7.6xx10(-10))/760 = 1.0xx10^(-12)` atm
( `:. 1 " atm " = 760 mm Hg)`
`V = 1 L, and T = 0^@C = 273 K, " and "R=0.0821 " litre atm " K_(-1) mol^(-1)`
`:.n=(PV)/(RT)= (1.0 xx 10^(-12) xx1)/(0.0821 xx 273) = 4.5 xx 10^(-14)` moles
`:. " 1 mole " = 6.022 xx 10^(23)` molecules
`:.4.5 xx 10(-14) " moles "= 6.022 xx 10^(23) xx 4.5 xx 10^(-14) = 2.7 xx 10^(10)`molecules
Hence, the number of molecules of OXYGEN present in the flask at `0^@C " are " 2.7 xx 10^(10)` .
