Some Indoor Air Purification Systems Work by Converting Some of the Oxygen

question 87

Short Answer

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?
