What has had the greatest effect on ozone depletion?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
What chemical compounds in the atmosphere can disrupt the ozone layer?
Chlorofluorocarbons also known as CFC's. These were primarily used as refrigerants (in refrigerators), propellants (in aerosols) and solvent. They've been practically banned now for 30 years or so as a result of which the ozone layer depletion is more or less stable now.
What causes the dipletion of ozone layer?
Chlorofluorocarbons
Do chlorofluorocarbons have a negative effect on the ozone layer?
Yes, chlorofluorocarbons have an adverse effect on the ozone layer. These react with ozone and decompose it to deplete the ozone layer.
Which chemical damages the protective ozone layer?
Chlorofluorocarbons damage the protective ozone layer.
What does chlorofluorocarbons destroy?
Chlorofluorocarbons destroy ozone. It is vital for earth.
How can you use the word chlorofluorocarbons in a sentence?
Chlorofluorocarbons are thought to deteriorate the ozone.
What has had the greatest effect on ozone depletion?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
How many grams of Cl are in 38.0 g of each sample of chlorofluorocarbons?
It depends on which chlorofluorocarbons you're talking about. CCl3F (Freon-11) is about 77.5 mass percent chlorine, so 38.0 grams of it would contain about 29.5 grams of chlorine. Other chlorofluorocarbons have different formulae and therefore contain different amounts of chlorine.
What is frochrabonlorolucos unscrambled?
The anagram is chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's, e.g. some freons).
What are man made gases which affect ozone?
Chlorofluorocarbons as always are the reply. These are the gases with most ozone depletion potential. The potential is too high to be imagined.CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons).
What chemical compounds in the atmosphere can disrupt the ozone layer?
Chlorofluorocarbons also known as CFC's. These were primarily used as refrigerants (in refrigerators), propellants (in aerosols) and solvent. They've been practically banned now for 30 years or so as a result of which the ozone layer depletion is more or less stable now.
Is is CFC's a chlorofluorocarbons?
yes
Are Chlorofluorocarbons stable harmless heat exchangers?
False. They were initially thought to be stable and harmless as they had low reactivity (hence stable), were non toxic and non flammable and so found wide spread use as refrigerant gasses (heat exchangers). However it was later discovered that in the upper atmosphere they were broken down by photons (light) to liberate Chlorine and helped to cause the break down of ozone to O2 which is a much less effective barrier to UV leading to the creation of "holes" in the ozone layer.
Why do chlorofluorocarbons harm the ozone layer so dangerously?
CFC's harm ozone. It is because they contain Chlorine and Florine.
What kind of effect do CFCs - chlorofluorocarbons - have on the atmosphere?
CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) destroy the ozone layer allowing harmful radiation to reach the earth.
What do scientists predict the banning of the use of chlorofluorocarbons will do?
Banning the use of chlorofluorocarbons has begun to allow the ozone layer to recover. this improvement is predicted to continue.
