`CFCl_3` is responsible for the decomposition of ozone to oxygen. Which of the following reacts with ozone to form oxygen>

A

`Cl_2`

B

`Cl^-`

C

`F_-`

D

`Cl^*`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Depletion of ozone occurs because ultraviolet light causes CFC's to decompose,thereby producing atomic chlorine.When chlorine atoms reacts with ozone molecules, it results in net removal of chemical equation `O_3`
Photodissociation of CFC
`CFCL_3+O_3+UV lightrarrCFCL_2+CL`
Reaction with `O_3`:
`CL+O_3rarrCLO+O_2`
`CLO+OrarrCL+O_2`
`O_3+Orarr2O_2`
