Question

Why supersonic jet aeroplanes are responsible for depletion of ozone layer?

Answer 1

Ozone layer protects us by absorbing harmful rays of sun. There are multiple reasons for depletion of Ozone layer. Supersonic jet aeroplane is one such thing.  Supersonic jets fly around this layer and emit Nitrogen Oxide. Nitrogen oxide is a harmful chemical and destroys Ozone.

Nitrogen Oxide gets converted to nitric acid and causes depletion of Ozone layer.

Answer 2

Hey !!

The exhausts of supersonic jet aeroplanes nitric oxide (NO) which combines with ozone present in the atmosphere to form nitrogen dioxide and diatomic oxygen.

              NO (g) + O₃ (g) -----> NO₂ (g) + O₂ (g)

Since, supersonic jet aeroplanes fly near the ozone layer, they are responsible for depletion of ozone layer.

GOOD LUCK !!
