Question

Some indoor air purification systems work by converting some of the oxygen in the air to ozone. The ozone oxidizes mold, mildew spores, and other biological pollutants. It is claimed that one such system generates 5.0 g of ozone per hour by passing dry air through the purifier at a rate of 5.0 L/min. If 1.0 L of air contains 0.28 g of oxygen, what percent of the O2 molecules are converted to O3 molecules?

Step 1

Given: - The rate of air passing through the purifier is 5.0 L/min. - 1.0 L of air contains 0.28 g of oxygen. First, calculate the total volume of air passing through the purifier per hour: \[ \text{Volume of air per hour} = 5.0 \, \text{L/min} \times 60 \, Show more…
