Chemische Eigenschaften
Ozone,O3, a colorless gas or dark blue liquid, also known as activated oxygen, is an allotropic form of oxygen formed in nature by lightning in air and during evaporation of water particularly by spray in the sea.It is an unstable blue gas with a distinctive odor. Condenses to a blue black liquid or crystalline solid. Ozone absorbs ultraviolet rays and acts as a natural blanket that protects the earth from harmful short-wave radiation from the sun. Ozone is a powerful oxidizer. It is used as an oxidant in the rubber industry, as a bleaching agent,as a water purifier, and to treat industrial wastes.
Physikalische Eigenschaften
Ozone is an allotropic molecular form of oxygen containing three atoms of oxygen (O
3).It is a much more powerful oxidizing agent than diatomic oxygen (O
2) or monatomic oxygen(O). It is the second most powerful oxidizer of all the elements. Only fluorine is a strongeroxidizer. It is not colorless as is oxygen gas. Rather, ozone is bluish in the gaseous state, butblackish-blue in the liquid and solid states (similar to the color of ink).
Ozone’s boiling point is –112°C, and its freezing point is –192°C.
Origin of Name
From the Greek words oxys (which means sharp or acid) and gen
(which means forming); together they stand for “acid-forming.” In the eighteenth century,
it was believed that all acids contained oxygen.
History
It was once believed that air was a single element, but by the fifteenth century ce, scientistsbegan to question whether it was possibly at least two separate gases. Leonardo da Vinci wasone of the first to suggest the air consisted of at least two gases. He even determined that oneof them would support life and fire.
In 1839 Christian Friedrich Schonbein (1799–1868) discovered a gas with an unusualodor coming from some electrical equipment. He did not know what it was, but because ithad an odd smell, he called it “ozone,” after the Greek word for “I smell.” Although he knewthat it was a chemical substance, he mistakenly associated ozone with the halogens (group 17).Others before Schonbein had smelled the gas but had not recognized its importance. ThomasAndrews (1813–1885) and several other scientists, through different experiments, identifiedozone as a form of oxygen (an allotrope). It was not until 1868 that J. Louis Soret establishedthe formula to be O
3.
Verwenden
Ozone is used as an oxidizing compound, as a disinfectant for air and water, for bleaching waxes and oil, and in organic synthesis. It occurs in the atmosphere at sea level to about 0.05 ppm. It is produced by the action of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on oxygen in air.
Definition
A poisonous,
blue-colored allotrope of oxygen
made by passing oxygen through a silent
electric discharge. Ozone is unstable and
decomposes to oxygen on warming. It is
present in the upper layers of the atmosphere,
where it screens the Earth from
harmful short-wave ultraviolet radiation.
There is concern that the ozone layer is
possibly being depleted by the use of fluorocarbons
and other compounds produced
by industry.
synthetische
Ozone is generated from oxygen by passing an electric spark or silent electrical discharge through dry, and pure oxygen. This electrical discharge may be applied between two glass surfaces between which oxygen is passed. Many types of ozonizers (ozone generating apparatus) are known and commercially available for small-scale production of this gas for various uses. Ozone may be produced by electrolysis of chilled dilute sulfuric acid (e.g. 2.5N H
2SO
4) or perchloric acid at high current density (higher than that required to produce oxygen alone). A mixture of oxygen and ozone evolve at the anode.
Vorbereitung Methode
Ozone (triatomic oxygen) is a light blue gas with a characteristic
odor (reminiscent to some individuals of an electrical
discharge such as lightening). Ozone was first
described in 1840 by Christian Friedrich Schonbein
[1799–1868], who produced it from phosphorus and electrolysis
of water. Schonbein also developed a colorimetric assay
involving starch and potassiumiodide-impregnated paper that
was widely used to measure atmospheric ozone concentrations.
Interestingly, Schonbein’s studies were interrupted
when he discovered the acute toxicity of ozone in 1851 and
noted that ozone caused “a really painful affection of the chest,
a sort of asthma, connected with a violent cough”.
Concern of ozone’s toxicity dates back to the mid-twentieth century, when it was recognized as a major air pollutant in
urban areas. Additional concerns arose in the 1980s and 1990s
regarding its depletion in the stratosphere.
Ozone can be found naturally in the troposphere during
electrical storms and in the stratosphere. Background levels
of ozone in nonurban areas average about 10–20 ppb and are
due mainly to intrusion of stratospheric ozone into the lower
atmosphere.
Reaktionen
Ozone reacts (1) with potassium iodide, to liberate iodine, (2) with colored organic materials, e.g., litmus, indigo, to destroy the color, (3) with mercury, to form a thin skin of mercurous oxide causing the mercury to cling to the containing vessel, (4) with silver film, to form silver peroxide, Ag2O2, black, produced most readily at about 250 C, (5) with tetramethyldiaminodiphenylmethane (CH3)2N·C6H4·CH2·C6H4·N(CH3)2, in alcohol solution with a trace of acetic acid to form violet color (hydrogen peroxide, colorless; chlorine or bromine, blue; nitrogen tetroxide, yellow). In contrast to hydrogen peroxide, ozone does not react with dichromate, permanganate, or titanic salt solutions. Ozone reacts with olefin compounds to form ozonide addition compounds. Ozonides are readily split at the olefinin-ozone position upon warming alone, or upon warming their solutions in glacial acetic acid, with the formation of aldehyde and acid compounds which can be readily identified, thus serving to locate the olefin position in oleic acid, C17H33·COOH, as midway in the chain (CH3(CH2)7CH:CH(CH2)7COOH. Ozone is used (1) as a bleaching agent, e.g., for fatty oils, (2) as a disinfectant for air and H2O, (3) as an oxidizing agent.
Allgemeine Beschreibung
A colorless to bluish gas that condenses to a dark blue liquid, or blue-black crystals. Has a characteristic odor in concentrations less than 2 ppm. Used as a disinfectant for air and water; used for bleaching waxes, textiles and oils, ozonolysis of unsaturated fatty acids to pelargonic and other acids; manufacture of ink; catalyst; water treatment for taste and odor control; mold and bacteria inhibitor in cold storage; bleaching agent.
Reaktivit?t anzeigen
Ozone is a propellant; ignites upon contact with alcohols, amines, ammonia, beryllium alkyls, boranes, dicyanogen, hydrazines, hydrocarbons, hydrogen, nitroalkanes, powdered metals, silanes, or thiols [Bretherick 1979. p.174]. Aniline in a atmosphere of Ozone produces a white galatinous explosive ozobenzene [Mellor 1:911. 1946-47]. A mixture of ether and Ozone forms aldehyde and acetic acid and a heavy liquid, ethyl peroxide, an explosive [Mellor 1:911. 1946-47]. Severe explosions occur attempting to form tribromic octaoxide from bromine and Ozone [Mellor 2, Supp. 1:748. 1956]. Mixtures of Ozone and dinitrogen pentaoxide are flammable or explosive [Mellor 8, Supp. 2:276. 1967]. Ozone and ethylene react explosively [Berichte 38:3837]. Nitrogen dioxide and Ozone react with the evolution of light, and often explode [J. Chem. Phys. 18:366 1920]. Contact of very cold liquefied gas with water may result in vigorous or violent boiling of the product and extremely rapid vaporization due to the large temperature differences involved. If the water is hot, there is the possibility that a liquid "superheat" explosion may occur. Pressures may build to dangerous levels if liquid gas contacts water in a closed container, [Handling Chemicals Safely 1980].
Hazard
High concentrations of ozone are a fire and explosion hazard when in contact with anyorganic substance that can be oxidized.
In moderately high concentrations ozone is very toxic when inhaled, and in lesser concentrations,it is irritating to the nose and eyes. Ozone in the lower atmosphere contributes to airpollution and smog. It can cause damage to rubber, plastics, and paints. These low concentrationscan cause headaches, burning eyes, and respiratory irritation. It is particular harmful toasthmatics and the elderly with respiratory problems.
Health Hazard
Ozone is a highly toxic gas that is extremely irritating to the eyes, mucous
membranes, and respiratory tract. The characteristic odor of ozone can be detected
below the permissible exposure limit, and this compound is therefore regarded to
have adequate warning properties. However, at higher concentrations the ability to
smell ozone may decrease. Inhalation of 1 ppm ozone may cause headaches and
irritation of the upper and lower respiratory tract. The first symptoms of exposure
include irritation of the eyes, dryness of throat, and coughing; these symptoms
disappear after exposure ceases. Exposure at higher levels may lead to lacrimation,
vomiting, upset stomach, labored breathing, lowering of pulse rate and blood
pressure, lung congestion, tightness in the chest, and pulmonary edema, which can
be fatal. Exposure to 100 ppm of ozone for 1 hour can be lethal to humans.
Animal studies indicate that chronic exposure to ozone may result in pulmonary
damage, leading to chronic lung impairment. Continual daily exposure to ozone can
cause premature aging.
Brandgefahr
Severe explosion hazard when shocked, exposed to heat or flame, or by chemical reaction with organic substances, especially reducing agents. Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent. Incompatible with alkenes; aromatic compounds; benzene, rubber; bromine; dicyanogen; diethyl ether; dinitrogen tetroxide; hydrogen bromide; 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-1,6-heptadiene; nitrogen trichloride; stibine; tetrafluorohydrazine. Avoid contact with organic materials.
Flammability and Explosibility
Ozone by itself is not flammable. Liquid ozone and concentrated solutions are
extremely hazardous and can explode on warming or when shocked.
m?gliche Exposition
Ozone is found naturally in the
atmosphere as a result of the action of solar radiation and
electrical storms. It is also formed around electrical
sources, such as X-ray or ultraviolet generators, electric
arcs; mercury vapor lamps; linear accelerators; and electrical discharges. Ozone is used as an oxidizing agent
in the organic chemical industry (e.g., production of azelaic
acid); as a disinfectant for air, mold and bacteria
inhibitor for food in cold storage rooms, and for water
(e.g., public water supplies; swimming pools; and sewage
treatment); for bleaching textiles; waxes, flour, mineral
oils, and their derivatives; paper pulp; starch, and sugar;
for aging liquor and wood; for processing certain perfumes;
vanillin, and camphor; in treating industrial
wastes; in the rapid drying of varnishes and printing
inks; and in the deodorizing of feathers.
Carcinogenicity
Ozone has been positive as a
genotoxic substance in certain assay systems, but the results
are inconsistent. For example, in vitro
assays have noted that ozone can induce bacterial mutations,
plasmid DNA strand breakage, chromatid and chromosome
aberrations in lymphocytes, and a doubling of the frequency
of preneoplastic variants compared with control cultures.
However, in vivo assays of similar end points produced mixed
results. For example, alveolar macrophages
from rats exposed to 270–800 ppb ozone developed chromatid
damage, but no chromosomal changes. In human
subjects exposed to 500 ppb ozone (6–10 h), a slight increase
in sister chromatid exchange persisted for ≤6 weeks.
In contrast, no significant changes in chromosome or chromatid
breaks were observed in lymphocytes of subjects
exposed for 4 h to 400 ppb. Cultured human epidermal cells exposed to 500 ppb ozone for 10 min showed no evidence
of DNA strand breakage.
Other investigators have suggested that chronic ozone
exposure may facilitate the development of benign pulmonary
tumors (adenomas) in mice and other hyperplastic
nodules in the lungs of nonhuman primates.
As is true of hyperoxia, ozone exposure may enhance or
retard lung tumorigenesis by other agents in rodents, depending
on the exposure protocol.
Other investigators have suggested that in vitro assays
indicate ozone may exert indirect genotoxic effects. Ozone
has been purported to affect the integrity of immune system
defenses against tumor development and progression
(1073, 1074). In addition, arylamines found in tobacco
smoke (e.g., naphthylamine and toluidine isomers) can be
chemically altered by brief exposures (1 h) to 100–400 ppb
ozone. The unidentified stable products of this reaction cause
single-strand DNA breaks in cultured human lung cells
equivalent to that produced by 100 rad of irradiation.
However, an in vivo cocarcinogenicity study failed to find
similar effects.
Environmental Fate
Ozone formed from anthropogenic sources such as from car
vehicle emissions in the troposphere can travel long distances. Ozone formation and scavenging by other chemicals such as
NO is in constant daily flux. There are times when solar radiation
is high, such as on hot days or during rush hour, which
produces elevated ozone levels and times such as during the
evening when the rate of ozone scavenging exceeds ozone
production, resulting in less ozone in the atmosphere. Ozone
concentrations in the eastern United States are often more than
80 ppb in the warm spring and summer months, though ozone
levels in the western United States are lower.
Lager
Work with ozone should be conducted in a fume hood to prevent
exposure by inhalation. Ozone is usually produced in the laboratory with a ozone generator,
and care should be taken to ensure adequate ventilation in the area where the ozone generation
equipment is located. Because of the possibility of the generation of explosive ozonides,
ozonolysis reactions should always be conducted in a fume hood behind a safety shield.
