Question
Which of the following demonstrates the unnatural, or man-made destruction of ozone?
A single O atom combines with an O2 molecule to form Ozone.
A ClO molecule gives up its O to another O from an O3.
A Cl atom reacts with an O3 molecule creating ClO and O2
An Ozone molecule absorbs UV radiation and splits into O2 and O.
A.A single O atom combines with an O2 molecule to form Ozone.
B.A ClO molecule gives up its O to another O from an O3.
C.A Cl atom reacts with an O3 molecule creating ClO and O2
D.An Ozone molecule absorbs UV radiation and splits into O2 and O.
Explanation / Answer
A Cl atom reacts with an O3 molecule creating ClO and O2
the main reason for the man made destruction of ozone layer is the release of chlorofluorocarbons, with the usage of air conditioners and refregirators. these chlorofluorocarbons will reach the stratosphere and the ultravoilet rays coming from sun will break these chlorofluorocarbons into chlorine and bromine. these two will react with the ozone and break it into O2 and O
