What chemical attacks the ozone layer?
CFCs, nitrous oxide.
Is nitrous oxide the main ozone threat?
No. Nitrous oxide is the "dead body" of what could have been an ozone molecule, if water vapor had not gotten to the excited and unstable nitrogen and oxygen "free radical" first. The main threat is water vapor in that case.
What does Nitrous oxide do to the ozone layer?
Nitrous oxide does not directly deplete the ozone layer. However, it is a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming, which in turn can indirectly affect the ozone layer by influencing atmospheric circulation and the balance of ozone-depleting substances.
Is ozone destroyed by nitrous oxide?
No.The substances that are causing ozone layer depletion are freons, CFC's etc.. These are called as ozone-depleting substances (ODS).
Are nitrous oxide and helium the same thing?
No, nitrous oxide and helium are not the same thing. Nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, is a dental sedative and anesthetic gas, while helium is a noble gas commonly used in balloons for buoyancy. They have different properties and uses.
What is the proper name for laughing gas?
The scientific name for "laughing gas" is " Nitrous oxide."
Is nitrous the same thing as nitrogen?
No, nitrous is not the same thing as nitrogen. Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, is a compound made up of nitrogen and oxygen. Nitrogen is a chemical element that makes up about 78 of Earth's atmosphere and is a separate substance from nitrous oxide.
What is the symbol for nitrous oxide?
The symbol for nitrous oxide is N2O.
What is the abbreviation for nitrous oxide?
The abbreviation for nitrous oxide is N2O.
Is nitrous oxide a organic compound?
No. Nitrous oxide (NO) is an inorganic compound.
What effect does nitrous oxide have on the environment?
Nitrous oxide contributes to global warming and the depletion of the ozone layer. It is a potent greenhouse gas that is emitted from agricultural activities, fossil fuel combustion, and waste treatment processes. Nitrous oxide also plays a role in stratospheric ozone depletion.
What volume of nitrous oxide gas has the same number of atoms as 9.00L od neon gas at same temperature and pressure?
Since both gases are at the same temperature and pressure, they have the same number of moles. Nitrous oxide (N2O) has 3 atoms in a molecule, while neon (Ne) is a monoatomic gas. Therefore, 9.00L of neon gas would have the same number of atoms as 3 times the volume of nitrous oxide gas, so the volume of nitrous oxide gas needed would be 3.00L.
