It has been suggested that one way to repair the problem of stratospheric ozone depletion would be to
manufacture ozone, carry it to the stratosphere, and release it. It has been estimated that it would take
about 17 million airplane-loads of ozone to replenish even 10% of the stratospheric ozone. The best
reason(s) that such as solution is impractical is/are:
(i) Even if we could temporarily replace the lost ozone, the natural steady-state ozone
cycle would quickly be re-established at the pre-existing lower ozone concentrations.
(ii) Ozone is too heavy to transport.
(iii) The sudden burst of ozone would cause a climate warming problem.
(iv) Ozone is too reactive to be stored in tanks for transport.
(v) Ozone, being denser than oxygen, would sink to the earth’s surface and cause damage.

Part II Written Answer

1. Consider the following data about three identical flasks, numbered 1, 2, and 3. Each flask contains a
sample of one gas; one flask contains hydrogen gas (H2), another nitrogen (N2), and a third argon gas
(Ar).
o Each flask contains 4.00 grams of the gas.
o At the same temperature, the pressure in Flask #1 is lower than the pressure in Flask #2.
o In order for the pressure in Flask #3 to be equal to the pressure in Flask #2, Flask #3 must be cooled
to a lower temperature.
Identify which gas is in which flask. Show your reasoning.
Point 1 tells us that the flasks contain different numbers of moles of gases.
Point 2 tells us that there are more moles of gas in flask #2 than in flask #1.
Point 3 tells us that there are more moles of gas in flask #3 than in flask #2.
Therefore,
moles gas in flask #3 > moles gas in flask #2 > moles gas in flask #1
Therefore, flask #3 must contain the lightest gas and flask #1 the heaviest.
So, flask #1 is Ar, flask #2 is N2, and flask #3 is H2.

A piece of sodium metal reacts completely with water as follows:
2 NaOH (aq) + H2 (g)
2 Na (s) + 2 H2O (l)
The hydrogen gas generated is collected over water at 23.0°C. The volume of the gas collected is 323
mL measured at 1.010 atm pressure. Calculate the number of grams of sodium metal consumed in the
reaction. (The vapour pressure of water at 23.0 °C is 0.0277 atm.) (There’s extra space on next page.)
P(hydrogen) = 1.010 atm – 0.0277 atm = 0.9823 atm
chemical amount H2 = PV/RT = 0.9823 atm × 323 mL
× 101325 N m-2 atm-1 × 10-6 m3 mL-1
8.314 J mol-1 K-1 × (273.15 + 23.0) K × 1 N m J-1
chemical amount H2 = 0.01306 mol
chemical amount Na used = 2 × 0.01306 mol = 0.02612 mol
mass of Na consumed = 0.02612 mol × 22.99 g mol-1 = 0.600 g (three sig fig)

Suppose 1000 moles of oxygen gas (O2) is compressed into a steel tank that has a volume of 45.0 L.
(a) Assuming that oxygen behaves as an ideal gas, and that the temperature of the gas and tank is 0°C,
calculate the pressure inside the tank in atmospheres.
P = nRT/V = (1000 mol × 8.314 J mol-1 K-1 × 273.15 K)/ 0.045 m3 = 5.047 × 107 N m-2 (=5.047 × 107 Pa)
converting to atmosphere units
P = 5.047 × 107 N m-2 atm = 498 atm
101325 N m-2
(b) The actual pressure for the real gas in the tank described above is 1026 atm. Explain briefly the
reason for any difference between this value and the result of your calculation in part (a) above.
The real value is higher because molecules take up space, and at high pressures this becomes important.

Assume that the kinetic energy of a 1400 kg car moving at 115 km h-1 can be converted entirely into
heat by putting on the brakes and bringing the car to a stop.
(a) How much heat (in kilojoules) is that?
Ek = (1/2)mv2 = (1/2) 1400 kg × ((115 × 103 m h-1)/ 3600 s h-1)2 = 700 kg × 1020.4 m2 s-2
Ek (all converted to heat in bringing the car to v=0) = 714313 J = 714 kJ
(b) Suppose that this car is brought to a stop by using its brakes. If we define the system to be the car,
is the internal energy change (ΔE) positive, negative, or zero when the car is brought to a stop using
its brakes? (Hint: The brakes get hot.) Circle the correct answer.
positive
negative
zero

6. Hemoglobin is the protein that transports O2 through the blood from the lungs to the rest of the body. In
doing so each molecule of hemoglobin combines with four molecules of oxygen (O2). The toxicity of the
pollutant gas carbon monoxide (CO) arises because it binds more tightly to hemoglobin than does oxygen.
If 1.00 g of hemoglobin combines with 1.53 × 10-6 m3 of CO at 37oC and 99.0 kPa, what is the molar mass
of hemoglobin?
1 hemoglobin + 4CO  products
for CO, n = PV/RT = 99.0 × 103 Pa × 1.53 × 10-6 m3_______
= 5.874 × 10-5 mol CO
8.314 J mol-1 K-1 × (273.15 + 37) K
moles hemoglobin combined = (1/4) × 5.874 × 10-5 mol = 1.469 × 10-5 mol
molar mass hemoglobin = (mass)/(moles) = 1.00g/1.469 × 10-5mol
= 68096 g/mol = 6.81 × 104 g/mol
