75% of the Solar Energy reaching Earth is absorbed by earth's surface which increases its temperature.The reat of heat rediates back to the atmosphere. Some of the heat is trapped by gases such as CO_(2), CH_(4), O_(3), CFCS present in atmosphere. They add to the heating of atmosphere which causes 'Global Warming'. Answer the following questions on the basis of above paragraph : (i)What is Green House effect ? (ii)What can we do to reduce the rate of Global Warming ?

Carbon dioxide is an essential component of atmosphere. However, when the concentration of CO_2 increases in the atmosphere, it can lead to global warming through green house effect. Similarly, rain water is an essential source of water. It has pH of 5.6 due to the formation of H^+ ions from the reaction of rain water with CO_2 present in the atmosphere. When pH of the rain water falls below 5.6 due to the presence of acids in the atmosphere, it has very damaging effects. Name three gases which are responsible for greenhouse effect.

When heathly earth's stratosphere contains a low concentration of ozone (O_(3)) that absorbs potentially harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiations by the cycle shown below: Chloroflouro carbon refrigerants, such as freon 12(CF_(2)Cl_(2)) , are stable in lower atmosphere but in the stratosphere, they absorb high energy UV radiation to generate chlorine radicals. CF_(2)Cl_(2) overset(hv)(to) CF_(2)Cl+Cl The presence of small number of chlorine radicals appears to lower ozone concentrations dramatically. The following reactions are all known to be exothermic (except the one requiring light) and to have high rate constant. A:Cl-O-O-Cloverset(hv)(to)O_(2)+2Cl^(*) B: Cl_O^(*)+O to O_(2)+Cl^(*) C:Cl^(*)+O_(3) to Cl-O^(*)+O_(2) D:2Cl-O^(*) to Cl-O-O-Cl Q. Ozone has the ability to absorb
