How is ozone produced in stratosphere ? |
|
Answer» Solution :Ozone in stratosphere is product of action of UV-radiations on dioxygen `(O_2)` molecules. The UV radiation split APART molecular oxygen into free oxygen ATOMS. These oxygen atoms combine with the molecular oxygen to from ozone. `O_(2(g)) underset("UV-radiation")OVERSET(hv)to O + O` `O_(2(g)) + O_((g)) underset("radiations")overset(hv)hArr O_3` Note: In stratosphere, a photon with a WAVELENGTH between 180 nm and 240 nm breaks. the `O_2` molecule into atomic oxygen. |
