(xx)
What purpose does ozone fulfil in the upper atmosphere?
Answer all parts
(i)
Briefly outline the factors that affect the rate of a chemical reaction.
[5 marks]
(ii)
One of the factors which effects the ozone layer is a reaction between
hydroxide radicals (HO.) and ozone (O3)
HO + O3 Products
The reaction is first order in both HO and O3.
(a) Write down the rate equation for the reaction.
[5 marks]
(b) If the rate of the reaction is 5.30 mol L-1 s-1 when
[OH] = 0.0021 mol L-1 and [O3] =0.70 mol L-1, calculate the rate
constant, k. What are the units of k?
[5 marks]
(iii)
What are the other main risks to the ozone layer?

total pressure of 1 x 105 Pa (1 atm) at 25oC?
[5 Marks]
(c)
Calculate the partial pressure of each gas at that total pressure.
[5 Marks]
Carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2) have boiling points of
-191.5oC and -253oC, respectively. A large portion of the reasoning
behind the significant difference in boiling point is due to the different
intermolecular bonding present in each gas. Discuss.
[5 Marks]

Answer all parts
(i)
In the recovery of iron from iron ore, the reduction of the ore is actually
accomplished by reactions involving carbon monoxide. Using the
following thermodynamical equations
