What is ozone layer?can we call the breaking down of ozone a chemical change
Answers
Explanation:
The term ozone depletion means that the destruction of O3 exceeds the creation of O3. When present together in the stratosphere, chlorine (Cl) and ozone quickly react to produce chlorine oxide. Bromine can also act as a catalyst to destroy stratospheric ozone. In 1995 Drs.
Explanation:
⇒ Ozone Layer :- The ozone layer is the common term for the high concentration of ozone that is found in the stratosphere around 15–30km above the earth's surface. It covers the entire planet and protects life on earth by absorbing harmful ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation from the sun.
⇒ The destruction of ozone layer is chemical change. The chemical equation for destruction of ozone can be written as:
Cl + O3 → ClO + O2 – The chlorine atom changes an ozone molecule to ordinary oxygen
As during the reaction, ozone molecules destroy and oxygen molecules form. So new chemical substances are formed by consuming the starting material hence it is a chemical change.
