Question

if three oxygen particles are needed to form ozone, how many units of ozone could be formed from 6 oxygen particles? from 9? from 27?

Answer 1

Answers:

             1) 2 Units of Ozone

             2)  3 Units of Ozone

              3)  9 Units of Ozone

Solution:

1)  From 6 Oxygen Particles;

As given,

                          3 Oxygen Particles form  =  1 Unit of Ozone

So,

                      6 Oxygen Particles will form  =  X Units of Ozone

Solving for X,

                      X =  (6 O Particles × 1 Unit of Ozone) ÷ 3 O Particles

                      X =  2 Units of Ozone

2) From 9 Oxygen Particles;

As given,

                           3 Oxygen Particles form  =  1 Unit of Ozone

So,

                      9 Oxygen Particles will form  =  X Units of Ozone

Solving for X,

                      X =  (9 O Particles × 1 Unit of Ozone) ÷ 3 O Particles

                      X =  3 Units of Ozone

3)  From 27 Oxygen Particles;

As given,

                             3 Oxygen Particles form  =  1 Unit of Ozone

So,

                      27 Oxygen Particles will form  =  X Units of Ozone

Solving for X,

                      X =  (27 O Particles × 1 Unit of Ozone) ÷ 3 O Particles

                      X =  9 Units of Ozone
