The hydroxyl radical, a fragment of water vapor known as the "atmospheric cleanser", with a chemical formula of OH, has a global
ly averaged number density of ~1×10^6 molecules cm-3 that is fairly constant with altitude. Determine the OH mixing ratio (in ppt) at the surface, where total pressure P ~1 atm, temperature T ~282K, and also at 10 km altitude, where P ~0.260 atm,
1 answer:
Answer:
Check the explanation
Explanation:
The hydroxyl radical, •OH, is the hydroxide ion (OH−) when in neutral form of the Hydroxyl radicals they are extremely reactive (easily becoming hydroxy groups) and as a result are short-lived; however, they form a significant part of radical chemistry. The hydroxyl radical composition is also highly reactive towards oxidative reactions.
