Catalytic ozone destruction occurs in the stratosphere where the reactions involving bromine, chlorine, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen gases form compounds that destroy the ozone layer. The reactions uses a catalyst (speeds up the reaction) in a two step reaction. considering chlorine the reactions appears as follows;
step 1
Cl + O3 = ClO + O2
step 2
ClO + O = Cl + O2
Where by chlorine is released to destroy the ozone layer, this takes place many times even with the other elements (hydrogen, bromine, nitrogen) and the end result is a completely destroyed Ozone layer
An object is lifted from the surface of a spherical planet to an altitude equal to the radius of the planet.
As a result, the object's <em>mass remains the same</em>, and its <em>weight decreases</em> to 1/4 of whatever it is when the object is on the planet's surface.
Answer:
Yes, the calorie can be expressed in SI units
Explanation:
1 calorie (1 cal) is defined as the amount of heat energy that must be supplied to 1 gram of water in order to raise its temperature by 1 degree Celsius (
.
The calorie is not a unit of the International System (SI): the SI unit for the energy is the Joule (J).
However, it is possible to convert energy from calories to Joules, and viceversa. In fact, the conversion factor between the two units is:
1 calorie = 4.184 Joules
So, to convert from calories to Joules we simply multiply by 4.184, while if we want to convert from Joules to calories, we just divide by 4.184.
They are both in motion because an object is not at rest, but moving so slow it could be at rest. A car going at the same constant velocity is neither speeding up or slowing down, an object "at rest" is also moving at a constant rate, not speeding up or slowing done.
