What is the amount of chlorine gas produced by volcanoes in relation to that produced by man?

The results I see are based on 1990's data, and do not include the bromine that volcano's also release (whcih also effects the ozone). What chlorine is present in the stratosphere is 3% volcano sourced, 15% methyl chloride (refrigerant 40 or R-40, CH3Cl, also used as a blowing agent) (they did not identify the source, but it does also come from natural sources including plants), and 82% manmade refrigerants, primarily CFCs. See link below for more on methyl chloride / aka. chloromethane. The total chlorine released by volcanos is in a form that is easily scrubbed from the air, so very little of what is released, ends up in the stratosphere. The same is likely true for the bromine they release.

Chlorine in the stratosphere is believed to primarily from CFC rather natural sources such as volcanoes because?
It is because the amount of chlorine emitted from natural resources is very less as compared to ones released from artificial products. The CFC's contain most of the chlorine which is responible for the depletion of ozone.
What do you think will happen to the amount of volcanoes and what impact will it have on farming?
The amount of volcanoes will tend to increase, which will impact farming in a negative way by decreasing the amount of available farmland.
What can you do to prevent or reduce the amount of volcanoes?
u cant do anything about them volcanoes are natural they cannot be reduced or prevented
What state has the least volcanoes and how many volcanoes?
Many states don't have a single volcano so it's hard to tell which state has the least amount of volcanoes.
What effects do volcanoes have on global warming and ozone layer depletionhtml?
Volcanoes do cause global warming and ozone depletion. But the amount is very low.
Are volcanoes causing ozone layer depletion?
Volcanoes cause ozone depletion but very less. They release chlorine which can deplete small amount of ozone.
What is the relation of speed and frequncy?
frequency is the amount of waves produced in a given amount of time.the more speed the more waves produced.
The amount of energy released when one mole of chloride ions is produced from one mole of chlorine atoms is the?
lattice energy

What is total residual chlorine?
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) is the total of free available residual chlorine and combined (bound) residual chlorine. The amount of measurable chlorine remaining after treating water with chlorine i.e. amount of chlorine left in water after the chlorine demand has been satisfied
How many volcanoes can erupt at once?
An unlimited amount of volcanoes can erupt at once
What do you think will happen to the amount of volcanoes and what impact will it have on farming?
The amount of volcanoes will tend to increase, which will impact farming in a negative way by decreasing the amount of available farmland.
How many liters of HCl are produced by the reaction of 5.7 L of hydrogen with an equal amount of chlorine H2 g Cl2 g -- 2 HCl g?
11.45
What variables with in volcanoes cause different types of eruptions?
The amount of gas and the pressure in the volcanoes.
Is a large amount of chlorine safe to be stored at your home?
Depends. What kind of chlorine is it?
How does chlorine gas effect body?
Some amount of chloride ions is essential to the human body. So little amount of chlorine will not cause harm. If a considerable amount of chlorine is inhaled, it may cause damages and infections in the respiratory system. Larger doses of chlorine may be fatal.
Will chlorine kill bacteria produced by bird droppings in swimming pool?
Chlorine in pools is designed to take care of a normal amount of bird droppings. If you have a higher level of bird droppings than normal in your pool, you need to raise your chlorine level and backwash your filter every couple of days.
