The gas emitted by supersonic jet planes that slowly depletes the concentration of ozone layer is

A

CO

B

NO

C

`SO_(2)`

D

`O_(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The gas released into upper atmosphere from engine of supersonic transport plane is nitric oxide (NO). It reaches into the stratosphere, reacts with ozone and causes its depletion.
`NO+O_(3)rarrNO_(2)+O_(2)`
`O_(2)overset(UV)rarrNO+[O]+[O]`
`NO_(2)+[O]rarrNO+O_(2)`
