  • Answer: <em><u>The compounds containing CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) are mainly responsible for ozone layer depletion as these compounds react with ozone in the presence of ultraviolet rays to form oxygen molecule and thus, destroying ozone.</u></em>

Explanation: <em><u>Human activities cause the emission of halogen source gases that contain chlorine and bromine atoms. These emissions into the atmosphere ultimately lead to stratospheric ozone depletion. The source gases that contain only carbon, chlorine, and fluorine are called chlo- rofluorocarbons usually abbreviated as CFCs.</u></em>

Answer:

CFC gases and methane gases.

Explanation:

  • Chlorofluorocarbons from the air conditioners are one of the main culprits responsible for ozone layer depletion, that react with the airborne particles in the presence of Sun's radiation breaking the ozone into oxygen atoms and as result creating large ozone hole over the planet.
  • Emission of harmful toxic gases of carbon monoxide and dioxide into the air through the vehicular exhaust also creates an atmosphere full of atmospheric black cloud.
  • Apart from this the various organism taking up O2 release methane a natural gas which can modify and trap this heat content on the earth burning of polybags and tires fossil fuels and coal also release other harmful gases which are considered to be reactive with the atmosphere.

Answer:

Acid + Oxide or Hydroxide

Many oxide, hydroxide and carbonate compounds

are insoluble in water, but do react with acid.

Acid + Oxide → Salt + Water

Acid + Hydroxide → Salt + Water

MgO (s) + HNO3 (aq) → Mg(NO3)2 (aq) + H2O (l)

CuOH (s) + HCl (aq) → CuCl (aq) + H2O (l)

Explanation:

lead compounds are the oxides: lead monoxide, PbO, in which lead is in the +2 state; lead dioxide, PbO2, in which lead is in the +4 state; and trilead tetroxide, Pb3O4. Lead monoxide exists in two modifications, litharge and massicot. Litharge, or alpha lead monoxide, is a red or reddish…

Why are some metals reactive than others?
Naddik [55]
<span> some elements have their outer electrons more tightly bound than others. Those who have less tightly bound electrons are more reactive. After this it gets more complex in explaining why they are bound with different strengths. </span>

Answer:

    The mass was there all along, it was just in the air. The weight of the oxygen from the air is not weighed in the beginning, only at the end as part of the product, making it seem like there is a total mass change.
