How does the highly reactive nature chlorine contribute to the creation of ozone holes in the upper atmosphere?

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>

uysha [10]
The concentration of the basic solution is determined by:

N = (number of moles / volume of solution) 

number of moles = 1.09 x 10^-2 mol
volume of solution = 1 liter
N of basic solution = 1.09 x 10^-2 mol / 1 liter
N = 1.09 x 10^-2 mol/L

The initial concentration of Zn (OH)2 is 0; the basic solution is 1.09x10^-2 M, then the concentration of OH in the final solution is 1.09x10^-2 M

Hey there!

Al + HCl → H₂ + AlCl₃

Balance Cl.

1 on the left, 3 on the right. Add a coefficient of 3 in front of HCl.

Al + 3HCl → H₂ + AlCl₃

Balance H.

3 on the left, 2 on the right. We have to start by multiplying everything else by 2.

2Al + 3HCl → 2H₂ + 2AlCl₃

Now we have 2 on the right and 4 on the left. Change the coefficient in front of HCl from 3 to 4.

2Al + 4HCl → 2H₂ + 2AlCl₃

Now, for Cl, we have 4 on the left and 6 on the right. Change the coefficient in front of HCl again from 4 to 6.

2Al + 6HCl → 2H₂ + 2AlCl₃

Now, our H is unbalanced again. 6 on the left, 4 on the right. Change the coefficient in front of H₂ from 2 to 3.

2Al + 6HCl → 3H₂ + 2AlCl₃  

Balance Al.

2 on the left, 2 on the right. Already balanced.

Here is our final balanced equation:

2Al + 6HCl → 3H₂ + 2AlCl₃  

Hope this helps!
