Give the chemical equations involved in the ozone depletion by `CF_2 Cl_2`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`to CF_(2)Cl_(2)` which is released in the atmosphere mix with the normal atmospheric gases and reaches the stratosphere.
`to` In stratosphere `CF_(2), Cl_(2)` react with powerful UV radiations and liberates chlorine free radicals. `CF_(2) Cl_(2) overset(UV) to Cl^(**) + ""^(**)CF_(2)Cl`.
`to` These chlorine radical reacts with ozone present in stratosphere to form chlorione monoxide radicals and molecular dioxygen .
`Cl^(**) + O_(3) to Cl^(**) + O_(2)`
` to ClO ` radical react with atomic oxygen and produce more Cl - radicals .
`ClO^(**) + O to Cl^(**) + O_(2)` .
