Problem
Liss and Slater (1974) determined that over the Atlantic Ocean the mean atmospheric concentration of a CFC (CCl3F, Freon-11, molecular weight 137) is 50 × 10-6 ppmv, whereas the mean aqueous concentration is 7.76 × 10-12 cm3/mL. The overall aqueous-phase mass transfer coefficient was estimated as 11 cm/h. Determine the magnitude and direction of freon flux? If the ocean surface area is 3.6 × 1014 m2, and the total annual flux of freon is 3 × 1011 g, what fraction is contributed by the Atlantic Ocean?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
