Given equation explain the formation of ozone hole
Answers
Explanation:
The chloro flouro carbons are released from the ac and fridges which will raise up into the sky and it reacts with O3(ozone) and creates holes by piercing it. please mark my answer as brainliest answer
→ On Antarctica depletion of ozone layer commonly known as ozone hole over the South Pole.
→ It was found that a unique set of conditions was responsible for the ozone hole.
→ During summer season, nitrogen dioxide and methane react with chlorine monoxide and chlorine atoms forms chlorine sinks.
→ It helps in preventing much ozone depletion.
→ Well, in winter, special type of clods called polar statspheric clouds are formed over Antartica.
→ Basically, the polar stratospheric clouds provide surface on which chlorine nitrate formed gets hydrolysed to form hypochlorous acid.
→ It also reacts with hydrogen chloride produced as per reaction to give molecular chlorine.
Equations :-
1) ClO(g) + NO(g) → ClONO2(g)
2) Cl(g) + CH4(g) → CH3(g) + HCl(g)
3) ClONO2(g) + H2O(g) → HOCl(g) + HNO3(g)
4) ClONO2(g) + HCl(g) → Cl2(g) + HNO3(g)
