State briefly the reactions causing ozone layer depletion in the strat

1.	State briefly the reactions causing ozone layer depletion in the stratosphere.
Answer» The decomposition products of CFCs destroy ozone as it is shown in the following reaction: CF₂Cl₂(g) + hv → Ci(g) + CF₂Cl(g) I(g) + O₃(g) → Cl(g) + O₂(g) Cl(g) + O(g) → Cl + O₂(g)

State briefly the reactions causing ozone layer depletion in the stratosphere.

Answer»

The decomposition products of CFCs destroy ozone as it is shown in the following reaction:

CF₂Cl₂(g) + hv → Ci(g) + CF₂Cl(g)

I(g) + O₃(g) → Cl(g) + O₂(g)

Cl(g) + O(g) → Cl + O₂(g)
