Assuming ideal gas behaviour for CO2 and air, the mole fraction of CO2 in air would
be 0.000385 since the data of 385 ppm are given by volume.
Then the partial pressure of CO2 in the atmospheric air is given by the product of
CO2 mole fraction and the atmosphere's total pressure.
So, p.p.CO2 = 0.000385 x 14 psi = 0.00539 psi.
Relation of psi to bar, 14.696 psi = 1.01325 bar.
Finally, p.p.CO2 = 0.00539 psi x [1.01325 bar/14.696 bar] = 3.72 x 10-4 bar
True. It's now over 400 ppm (parts per million) or 0.04%.
The stratospheric region of atmosphere has got the highest concentration of ozone. This is due to the presence of the ozone layer there. Moreover small parts of ozone are also present in the tropospheric region but the concentration there is of the level of parts per million so it is neglected and the stratosphere is taken the area of the max concentration of ozone.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the major components of Earth\'s atmosphere making up about 0.04 percent (400 parts per million) of the air we breathe. It is also the most important of the "greenhouse gases" that regulate the temperature of our planet.In the troposphere (the atmospheric layer closest to the surface of the Earth) the average concentration of CO2 is about 400 ppm (parts per million).At higher elevations the concentration of CO2 decreases reaching a minimum of about 300 ppm in the stratosphere.At the highest levels of the atmosphere CO2 concentrations are much lower ranging from about 5 to 10 ppm.CO2 concentrations are constantly fluctuating due to natural processes such as respiration and photosynthesis as well as human activities such as burning fossil fuels. As a result the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is constantly changing.
stratosphereOzone is found in some amount in all layers of the ATMOsphere. It is at its highest concentration in the lower stratosphere.
The stratosphere region of the atmosphere contain the highest concentration of ozone. It is present in the form of ozone layer.
Earth's atmospheric pressure is measured as 1 bar. Jupiter's atmospheric pressure is 100 million bars. Therefore, it is 100 million times greater
Atmospheric ozone concentration is measured in parts per million.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the daily average concentration of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere surpassed 400 parts per million for the first time in human history. The world emits 2.4 million pounds of CO2 per second.
The oxygen concentration in the atmosphere today (which is at about 21%) has been at its current level for the past 400 million years.
Burning of fossil fuels has changed the atmosphere by increasing the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Since the beginning of the Industrial Age, the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide has increased by over 35 per cent, from the pre-industrial long-term range of 260-280 parts per million (ppm) to the present level of over 380 ppm.
True. It's now over 400 ppm (parts per million) or 0.04%.
In the Earth's atmosphere - but at very low concentration - approximately 1 part in 10 million or 0.0001%.
Ozone is concentrated at 20-40 km above earth with highest concentration 6-8 parts per million. It is present in the stratosphere of the earth's atmosphere.
