Ozone does spontaneously decay. When ozone concentrations reach 10 wt% (most modern ozone generators can make this), it can deflagrate back to hot oxygen. The wavefront does not propagate very fast, there is no big boom, and not any sort of visible flash associated with it.

Ozone does not burn, no.

How do VOCs contribute to troposphereic ozone?

Volatile Organic Compounds are decomposed compounds. They burn to emit CO2 with could form ozone.


What is bad about the holes in the ozone?

The Ozone layer protects us from the sun. If we didn't have the Ozone layer, our Earth would burn up as we would be fully exposed to the sun.


Which light will burn the earth if ozone layer will have a hole?

Ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun would burn the Earth if the ozone layer has a hole. The ozone layer acts as a shield, protecting the Earth from harmful UV radiation. Without this protection, increased exposure to UV light can lead to various consequences like skin cancer, cataracts, and damage to marine life.


Why do things burn when passing through earth's ozone layer?

The Sun emits a broad spectrum of light including UV-C and UV-B. When UV-C is absorbed by an oxygen molecule, sometimes ozone is formed. When UV-B or UV-C is absorbed by ozone it breaks apart, and sometimes ozone is formed again. So "burning through" ozone also produces some ozone. The amount of ozone at any given time is a delicate balance between incident sunlight, ozone left over from the previous day (ozone decays with time too), the amount of oxygen available, and the various decay paths presented by contaminants. As contaminants increase, or new decay pathways are presented, ozone concentration decreases. Not only will the sun not burn through the ozone layer, the sun is required to create new ozone. The thin layer we misrepresent as a hole is due primarily because the sun can not react with the atmosphere and the ozone naturally decays.


What is oxygen's flammability level?

Oxygen is not flammable, but it is a powerful supporter of combustion. It does not burn itself, but it can cause other materials to burn more easily by providing the necessary conditions for combustion.

What would happen if their was no ozone on earth?

We will be burn just like sun burn


How could the depletion of the ozone layer endanger living things?

basically without the ozone layer, our the earth would burn into a crisp and we would all die but it doesn't happen that fast. it takes a few minutes to burn up in a crisp before we al die


Why don't you burn when the sun gets really hot?

you don't burn because of the ozone layer of the earth. the ozone layer is a layer on earth that observes solar ultraviolet radiation.

Is ozone layer good or bad?

The ozone layer is good because if we didn't have it the suns rays would burn us really badly.


Is Coffee dangerous to the ozone layer?

No. Burned coffee grounds might be dangerous to the ozone layer. And since they are good fertilizer, don't burn them.


Why are you concerned with the ozone?

We are concerned with ozone because ozone layer blocks about 97% of the the total received by the earth. Ozone depletion will expose earth to harmful radiations and will burn the life. The temperature will increase and make earth inhabitable place.


Why do cars release gases?

Cars release gasses into the ozone. When the gases hit the ozone, it produces the greenhouse effect Mostly because they burn fossil fuel. As you know you can't burn anything without producing a gas.


What are the problems with the depletion of the ozone?

Depletion of ozone creates holes in ozone layer. Ozone layer blocks about 97% of the the total received by the earth. Ozone depletion will expose earth to harmful radiations and will burn the life. The temperature will increase and make earth inhabitable place.
