Ozone is a toxic gas and is a strong oxidising agent even then its present in the stratosphere is very important. Explain what would happen if ozone from this region is completely removed ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The ozone layer in the stratosphere is a natural feature of the earth's enviornment. The ozone layer exists between `20` to `35` km above the earth surface layer. This layer exists between 20 to 35 km above the earth surface layer. This layer protects the earth from the hurmful effects of the ultraviolet radiation of the sun.
A depletion of ozone of ozone layer is considered as a serious threat to all forms of life on the earth. A 5% decrease in ozone concentration could increases the incidence of skin cancer by `20%` Ultraviolet radiation is also the factor for dieases of eye, including cantrarct formation.
It can cause genetic mutation and destory crops and other form of vegetation. Aquatic animals and aquatic plants are generally by UV-radiation.

Ozone is an unstable, dark blue diamagnetic gas. It absorbs strongly the UV radiation, thus proteching the people on the earth from the harmful UV radiation from the sun. The use of chloroflurocarbon (CFC) in aeroslos and refrigrators, and their subsequent escape into the atomsphere, is blamond for making holes in the ozone layer over the Antarctic, and Arctic. Ozone acts as a strong oxdising agent in acidic and alkaline medium. For this property ozone is used as a germicide and disinfectant for sterillising water and improving the atmosphere of croweded places. CFC damages ozone layer by reactions :
