Chlorine is a halogen and is very reactive and unstable. If released in an elemental form (Cl2), it would react with other substances immediately. However, <span>chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which contain chlorine are unreactive and when released they eventually end up in the upper atmosphere still "intact". In the upper atmosphere, sunlight is more intense and is able to break apart CFC, releasing the highly reactive chlorine which in turns destroys ozone which is more abundant in the upper atmosphere (stratosphere). </span>
Answer:
The mass of silicon in kilograms in Earth's crust is
.
Explanation:
Mass of Earth =
(1 ton= 2000 lb)
(1 lb =453.6 g)
1 ton = 2000 × 453.6 g =907,200 g
Mass of Earth =
Percentage of earth crust = 0.50%
Mass of earth crust = M


Percentage of the silicon in Earth's crust = 27.2 %
Mass of silicon in in Earth's crust = m



1000 g = 1 kg
The mass of silicon in kilograms in Earth's crust is
.
