How many molecules of ozone are ther in 155.25 g ozone?

There are around 19.4*1023 molecules in 155.25 g of ozone. Its molecular weight is 48.


How many molecules are in the ozone?

There are three molecules in ozone. It can be man made from oxygen, with a high voltage electrical discharge, that splits the oxygen from two molecules into three which gives you ozone.


When the ozone molecule splits does it make another ozone molecule or many?

When the ozone molecule splits, it forms individual oxygen atoms. These oxygen atoms can either combine with other oxygen molecules to form new ozone molecules or combine with other molecules in the atmosphere. The process of ozone splitting and reforming is part of the Earth's natural ozone cycle.


How many chlorine atoms does it take to destroy 100000 ozone molecules in the stratosphere?

It's funny because I just read in my textbook, which was printed this year 2012, that one chlorine atom can destroy "ONE Million" ozone molecules. They do not explain why. It is more then likely goofball science that no one can back up. I'm no chem expert, but... Cl + O3 YIELDS destruction of (thousands/millions) O3 molecules. Yeah right.


Each chlorine atom in the stratosphere can destroy how many ozone molecules?

Each chlorine atom in the stratosphere can destroy thousands of ozone molecules, with estimates ranging from about 100,000 to over a million ozone molecules before it is removed from the atmosphere. This destructive potential is primarily due to the catalytic cycle that chlorine undergoes when it reacts with ozone (O₃), leading to its depletion. The significant impact of chlorine on ozone levels is a key reason for international efforts to reduce chlorine-containing compounds, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).

How many ozone molecules are in the atmosphere?

Ozone is very rare in our atmosphere, averaging about three molecules of ozone for every 10 million air molecules. In spite of this small amount, ozone plays a vital role in the atmosphere. In the information below, we present "the basics" about this important component of the Earth's atmosphere.SO COUNT THE NUMBER OF AIR MOLECULES IN THE ATMOSPHERE.....and MULTPLY WITH 3,U WILL GT THE ANSWER


HOW MANY CHLORINE ATOMS DESTROY 1000000.00 OZONE MOLECULES?

Theoretically, 1 chlorine free radical could do this. The number of ozone molecules broken down by the free radical before the chain is terminated depends on a lot of factors, though, and a million seems like a very high value.

In a month your house is destroying how many ozone molecules?

A single household destroys many ozone. A single CFC even can destroy 100,000 molecules.


If 4.8g of oxygen gas is completely converted to ozone how many molecules of ozone would be produced?

4.8/16 moles of oxygen atoms converts to 1.6/16 moles of ozone molecules.

Is freon a danger to the ozone layer in the stratosphere?

Freon is a brand name, and covers many compounds / molecules that have fluorine bonded into them. Fluorine itself is more powerful than ozone, so the fluorine provides no challenge to ozone in terms of accelerating its decay, or blocking its production. There are several of these molecules that also contain chlorine or bromine, and they *do* provide an accelerated decay path for ozone. These molecules are referred to as CFCs in general. Additionally, some of these molecules contain hydrogen, and this also provides a challenge to ozone. These molecules are referred to as HCFCs, and tend to break up before they make it all the way up to the ozone layer (a trip of many months). So... just being "freon" does not make it a danger to the ozone layer, nor does it prevent it from being a danger to the ozone layer. It depends on the formulation.
