In the lower atmosphere oxygen gas is converted to ozone


In the lower atmosphere, oxygen gas is converted to ozone gas by energy provided from lightening as shown in the reaction below and the value of the equilibrium constant for this reaction at 25C is Kc = 1.7 x 10^-56.

Equation: 3O2(g) + heat <==> 2O3(g)

A. Is this endothermic or exothermic?
B. At 25C the predominant gas that would be present would be ? Oxygen or Ozone
C. If O3(g) is increased, then the O2(g) produced will? Increase or Decrease
D. If we increase the temperature will it Increase or Decrease the amount of O3(g) produced?

E. Give the correct expression for the equilibrium constant then show how to determine and calculate the concentration of ozone in an air sample at 25C if the equilibrium concentration of oxygen gas in air is 8.0 x 10^-3 M at 25C?
