Question:

Ozone is a trace atmospheric gas which plays an important role in screening the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation, and the abundance of ozone is commonly reported in Dobson units. One Dobson unit is the thickness, in thousandths of a centimetre, of a column of gas if it were collected as a pure gas at 1.00 atm and 0 °C. What amount of O3 (in moles) is found in a column of atmosphere with a cross-sectional area of 1.00dm2 if the abundance is 250 Dobson units (a typical mid-latitude value)? In the seasonal Antarctic ozone hole, the column abundance drops below 100 Dobson units; how many moles of O3 are found in such a column of air above a 1.00dm2 area? Most atmospheric ozone is found between 10 and 50 km above the surface of the earth. If that ozone is spread uniformly through this portion of the atmosphere, what is the average molar concentration corresponding to (a) 250 Dobson units, (b) 100 Dobson units?
