14. Which absorbs heat faster? Land or wvater? Why?
Answer
The initial step in the formation of O3 from O2 in the stratosphere is the absorption of light by 02, which causes it to split into O atoms.
The balanced chemical equation for this process is
02 (g) → 2 0 (g)
If AHP for O (g) is +249.17 kJ/mole, what wavelength of light, in nm, must be absorbed by 02 to make this reaction occur? Enter only the
numerical portion of your answer in the space provided, to the correct number of significant figures; do not enter the units.

- What is the biological importance of stratospheric ozone? Explain.arrow_forwardMarie Curie was born in Poland but studied and carried out her research in Paris. In 1903, she shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with H. Becquerel and her husband Pierre for their discovery of radioactivity. (In 1911 she received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of two new chemical elements, radium and polonium, the latter named for her homeland, Poland.) They and others observed that a radioactive substance could emit three types of radiation: alpha (), beta (), and gamma (). If the radiation from a radioactive source is passed between electrically charged plates, some particles are attached to the positive plate, some to the negative plate, and others feel no attraction. Which particles are positively charged, which are negatively charged, and which have no charge? Of the two charged particles, which has the most mass? Radioactivity. Alpha (), beta I(), and gamma () rays from a radioactive element are separated by passing them between electrically charged plates.arrow_forwardChapter #3, Question #13: Consider the following data for total atmospheric column ozone measurements (as DU) at three locations around the Earth, obtained using the TOMS in 2001.
