How do tornadoes destroy land?

It is very rare for tornadoes to destroy the actual land. The most violent tornadoes can scour away the surface of the ground, but very few are that strong. The shear force of the wind is enough to tear away sections.


Where do you deposit the chlorine tablets in a septic system?

DON'T!!! Septic systems require bacteria and enzymes to break down the waste. Chlorine tablets will kill the bacteria and destroy the enzymes. That's true for a traditional septic system. But some systems are really on-site waste treatment plants. After the septic tank the liquid flows through a sand filter which is populated by aerobic bacteria. After passing through the sand filter, the liquid is chlorinated and then discharged. In this type of system you do need chlorine tablets. And they have to be the right kind of tablets. DON'T use tablets designed for swimming pools! In my system there is a small black box next to the driveway. Inside that box are two white plastic tubes. That's where the chlorine tablets go. Your system may be different.


What layer of the atmosphere is most affected by fluorocarbons?

The ozone layer, which is part of the stratosphere, is the most affected by fluorocarbons. When chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs are released into the atmosphere, they migrate from the troposphere to the stratosphere after about 3 to 5 years. These CFCs destroy the ozone layer.


What total volume of ozone measured at a pressure of 29.0 mmHg and a temperature of 229 K can be destroyed when all of the chlorine from 13.0 g of CF3Cl is present?

In time, with insolation, all of it. CFCs in general are photocatalysts, so they are not lost in the process of destroying ozone. They destroy one ozone molecule, then are reset by light to do it again, and again, and again. No real "goes through" about it.


What specific use does chlorine have as bleach?

Answer #1Many cleaning agents and industrial reagents contain chlorine. It is ubiquitous in swimming pools, spas as well as municipal water supplies as a sanitizer. Chlorine is a powerful oxidant. It destroys organic (and many inorganic) compounds (ie. stains) with ease. That is why it's in bleach, to destroy unwanted compounds, be they salmonella bacterium or the ink stains on your lab coat.It is extremely deadly in its lime green gaseous form. Etymology of the word chlorine is from the Greek khlôros, meaning "pale green". It was used to kill scores during WWI as a component of "mustard gas".Some of the chemical/physical properties of chlorine include:Chlorine is a yellow-green gas at room temperature.Chlorine has a pungent, irritating odor similar to bleach that is detectable at concentrations as low as 500ppb.The density of chlorine gas is approximately 2.5 times greater than air, which will cause it to initially remain near the ground in areas with little air movement.Chlorine is not flammable, but may react explosively or form explosive compounds with many common substances (including hydrochloric acid, acetylene, ether, turpentine, ammonia, natural gas, hydrogen, and finely divided metals).Chlorine is slightly water soluble, and reacts with moisture to form hypochlorous acid (HClO) and hydrochloric acid (HCl).Chlorine is commonly pressurized and cooled for storage and shipment as an amber-colored liquid.This dot intentionally left blank.

Why does CFC react to ozone?

Chlorine and bromine separate from the CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) and destroy the ozone molecules. The chlorine and bromine atoms are not changed, so they continue destroying ozone. One chlorine atom can destroy up to 100,000 molecules of ozone during its lifetime in the atmosphere.
