Question

if three oxygen particles are needed to form ozone, how many units of ozone could be formed from 6 oxygen particles? from 9? from 27?

Answer 1

Answers:

1) 2 Units of Ozone

2) 3 Units of Ozone

3) 9 Units of Ozone

Solution:

1) From 6 Oxygen Particles;

As given,

3 Oxygen Particles form = 1 Unit of Ozone

So,

6 Oxygen Particles will form = X Units of Ozone

Solving for X,

X = (6 O Particles × 1 Unit of Ozone) ÷ 3 O Particles

X = 2 Units of Ozone

2) From 9 Oxygen Particles;

As given,

3 Oxygen Particles form = 1 Unit of Ozone

So,

9 Oxygen Particles will form = X Units of Ozone

Solving for X,

X = (9 O Particles × 1 Unit of Ozone) ÷ 3 O Particles

X = 3 Units of Ozone

3) From 27 Oxygen Particles;

As given,

3 Oxygen Particles form = 1 Unit of Ozone

So,

27 Oxygen Particles will form = X Units of Ozone

Solving for X,

X = (27 O Particles × 1 Unit of Ozone) ÷ 3 O Particles

X = 9 Units of Ozone
