Question

The concentration of ozone in a sample of air that has a partial pressure of O3 of 0.33 torr and a total pressure of air of 695 torr is ________%.

Answer 1

Answer:

0.047 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

• Partial pressure of ozone (pO₃): 0.33 torr

• Total pressure of air (P): 695 torr

Step 2: Calculate the %v/v of ozone in the air

Air is a mixture of gases. We can find the %v/v of ozone (a component) in the air (mixture) using the following expression.

%v/v = pO₃/P × 100%

%v/v = 0.33 torr/695 torr × 100%

%v/v = 0.047 %
