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

Chemistry

liberstina [14]3 years ago

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>

Given the equation 2mg(s) + o2(g) → 2mgo(s) + 72.3 kj, how much heat is involved in the production of 5.0 mol of mgo? question 2
Rudik [331]
The heat is involved   in the  production of 5.0 mol of MgO  is   180 Kj

               calculation

2 Mg (s)   +O2 → 2 MgO

From  the  equation  above two  moles    of MgO  is used  therefore   

72.3   is for   2   moles

that is   72.3  kj =  2moles
                  ?      = 5  moles 

by  cross  multiplication

= 72.3  kj × 5/2     = 180  Kj
