Partitioning
Two main molecular properties that affect the molar water solubility of an organic compound.
What are size and polarity?
Two reservoir species of NOx.
What are N2O5 and HNO3?
Tropospheric ozone formation is enhanced by this reaction.
What is OH oxidation of VOCs?
Cooling climate agent due to interactions with incoming solar radiation.
What are aerosols?
A molecule with KAW=2 and KOA=0.2 is most likely to be found in this environmental sphere.
What is the atmosphere?
Two reservoir species of ClOx.
What are HCl and ClNO3?
Technology to reduce ground-level ozone concentration by decreasing NOx and hydrocarbon emissions by vehicles.
What is the catalytic converter?
In addition to absorptivity, this other factor needs to be considered for the global warming potential of a greenhouse gas.
What is atmospheric lifetime?
Its presence in a lake decreases the bioconcentration factor of an organic pollutant for fish species.
What is dissolved organic matter (DOM)?
Three catalytical cycles that destroy stratospheric ozone.
What is HOx, NOx, and ClOx?
OH oxidation of VOCs under low NOx conditions in the troposphere leads to increased formation of these compounds.
What are peroxides?
Type of feedback loop where increasing atmospheric CO2 leads to increasing temperature and ocean water evaporation.
What is climate positive feedback loops?
This property of an organic compound increases its susceptibility to experience the salting out effect.
What is hydrophobicity?
Photolysis of oxygen gas generates this product.
What is O(3P)?
These two chemical classes lead to stratospheric ozone destruction but lead to tropospheric ozone production.
What are HOx and NOx?
What is stratospheric ozone?
This property can predict a compound's potential to be distributed globally due to atmospheric transport
What is the air-water partitioning coefficient (Kaw)?
The Cl radical is considered to be more potent than ClO in stratospheric ozone destruction due to this specific type of interaction with ozone.
What is direct reaction with ozone?
This gas-phase OH oxidation mechanism of an aromatic VOC generally leads to a carbonyl product.
What is OH abstraction?
Term that refers to outgoing longwave radiation from 8 um to 12 um.
What is the atmospheric window?
