Where is ozone formed and stored?

Answer 1

Ozone is found both in the upper

atmosphere and at ground level.

The ozone occurring in the upper

atmosphere (10-30 miles above the

earth's surface) is considered good

ozone because it helps to block the

Sun's ultraviolet rays.

Ozone occurring near the Earth's

surface is considered bad because it is

made of pollutants resulting from car

emissions, aerosols, factories,

refineries, chemical plants and boilers.

Answer 2

Ozone is formed in the Earth's stratosphere when oxygen molecules are broken apart by ultraviolet radiation from the sun. It is mainly stored in the stratosphere, which is the layer of Earth's atmosphere located approximately 10 to 50 kilometers above the surface. Ozone can also be found in the lower atmosphere, known as the troposphere, where it is produced as a result of air pollution.

Answer 3

Ozone is a tri oxygen molecule. It is formed in a natural process by the action of UV light on oxygen molecule.Ozone present in the stratosphere of the earth's atmosphere is called as good ozone.

Answer 4

Ozone is mostly found in the region called ozone layer which is present in the stratospheric region of the atmosphere. The Ozone there protects us from the harmful ultraviolet rays thus acting as a blanket for the earth.

However traces of ozone are also found in the stratospheric regions but the concentration is of the order of parts per million so it is neglected.

Answer 5

Ozone is unstable, so ozone cannot be stored anywhere for very long. Liquid ozone dewars are used for a few days, but ozone only has a half-life of about a week at liquid ozone temperatures.

Answer 6

Ozone is formed everywhere. Ozone has a very short halflife, it decays back to just being oxygen in a short time, so is not stored anywhere (for long).

Answer 7

It is in the stratosphere, located 8 to 50km above sea level

Answer 8

If there are ozone components in something, then yes, it can be stored. For example, if ozone is found in grains, the grains can be stored for some time.

Answer 9

The ozone is located somewhat 20-30 kms in the atmosphere. It is contained in the stratosphere. The amount of ozone is very large.

Answer 10

Everywhere there is free oxygen.
