Answer:

Ppm means the concentration of vapors or gases expressed in parts per million of polluted air.

Explanation:

In Chemistry and Physics, part per million or PPM is a measure that expresses the number of units of a certain existing substance for every million units of the mixture. (Concentration)

In climate the equation is used so:

ppm = parts of polluted air / million parts of air .

ppm = Liters of polluted air / 10∧6 Liters of air.

This is used to find the concentration of gases expressed as parts of gas per million parts of the

polluted air.

In this case, it would be 407.4L of CO2 per 10∧6L of air.

An alkene with the molecular formula C8H16 undergoes ozonolysis to yield a mixture of (CH3)2C=O and (CH3)3CCHO. The alkene is:

aalyn [17]

Answer:

2,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene yields mixture of $(CH_{3})_{2}C=O$ and $(CH_{3})_{3}CHO$

Explanation:

In ozonolysis (hydrolysis step involve a reducing agent such as Zn, $Me_{2}S$ etc.), a pi bond is broken to form ketone/aldehyde.

Ketone is formed from di-substituted side of double bond and aldehyde is formed from mono-substituted side of double bond.

Ozoznolysis involves two consecutive steps : (1) formation of ozonide, (2) hydrolysis of ozonide.

Hydrolysis can be done with/without using reducing agent. Carboxylic acid/carbon dioxide/ketone is produced when hydrolysis is done without using reducing agent.

Here, 2,4,4-trimethyl-2-pentene yields mixture of $(CH_{3})_{2}C=O$ and $(CH_{3})_{3}CHO$

Reaction steps are shown below.
