Question:

The abundance of ozone is typically inferred from measurements of UV absorption and is often expressed in terms of Dobson units (DU): 1 DU is equivalent to a layer of pure ozone 10−3 cm thick at 1 atm and 0°C. Compute the absorbance of UV radiation at 300 nm expected for an ozone abundance of 300 DU (a typical value) and 100 DU (a value reached during seasonal Antarctic ozone depletions) given a molar absorption coefficient of 476 dm3 mol−1 cm−1.
