Why are small quantities of chlorofluorocarbons so harmful to the ozone layer?

Biology

kozerog [31]3 years ago

The answer to this is C.

CFC (F2CCl2) will decompose by release a chlorine atom. The free chlorine atom will bind to ozone to crear chlorine monoxide. The equation is

Cl + O3 —> ClO + O2

The ClO will then react with free oxygen molecules to create break the bond a form and other free oxygen molecule in this equation

ClO + O —> Cl + O2

The free chlorine atom can then come in contact with another ozone atom and continue the process which depletes more and more ozone. It’s said that one CFC can break 100,000 ozone molecules.

B is almost correct because chlorine does come from CFCs and stops ozone production but the free chlorine doesn’t react with free oxygen

What happens to the pressure of a gas in a closed container if the volume decreases, but temperature remains the same? Why?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

The pressure of a gas in a closed container increases if the volume of the gas decreases. Pressure and volume have inverse relationship which means if one increases the other decreases and vice versa. If pressure increases, volume of a gas decreases because there are a lot of empty spaces present between gas particles which are filled when gas particles come closer to each other due to applied of pressure.
