What CFC catalyzes a chain reaction that breaks down ozone in upper atmosphere?
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are catalysts that break down ozone in the upper atmosphere. When CFCs reach the stratosphere, they are broken down by ultraviolet light, releasing chlorine atoms that then catalyze the destruction of ozone molecules.
Do Chlorofluorocarbons destroy the stratosphere?
Yes, CFC's destroy the ozone in the stratosphere. They react with ozone to destroy it.
Do halons and CFC's both destroy ozone in the stratosphere?
Yes they do. Halons and CFC's both destroy ozone.
How does CFC reach the stratosphere?
CFCs are released into the atmosphere from human activities like air conditioning and refrigeration. Once in the atmosphere, they are carried up into the stratosphere by wind and air circulation. In the stratosphere, CFCs can remain for many years, allowing them to break down ozone molecules through chemical reactions.
What do Halons and CFC s do to the ozone A inhibit ozone formation B cause ozone formation in the troposphere C destroy ozone in the stratosphere D cause excess ozone formation in the stratosphere?
Halons and CFC s both destroy ozone in the stratosphere.
CFC's are released and rise to the stratosphere Sunlight breaks down the CFC's reeasing atomic that destroys the zone?
CFC's are fatal for ozone. They react with them to deplete them.
Where in the atmosphere is ozone broken down by cfc's?
It is broken in the stratosphere. CFC's react with ozone to deplete it.

Why ozone breakedown?
The ozone breaks down due to CFC's. They react with ozone to deplete it.
What chemical is dangerous to the ozone layer in the stratosphere?
cfc
What substance depletes ozone in the stratosphere?
CFC's and HCFC's
Do Chlorofluorocarbons destroy the stratosphere?
Yes, CFC's destroy the ozone in the stratosphere. They react with ozone to destroy it.
Which gas is used now a days instead of CFC?
LPG - Liquid propane gas or other Hydrocarbon derivatives... Soft CFC's, they added hydrogen to the CFC's previously used that were called hard CFC's. By doing this it won't allow the CFC's to travel up to the stratosphere, where it breaks down the ozone. With the added hydrogen will stop it in the troposphere and combine to form compounds such as CO2 + HCl (or HF), therefore not harmful to the ozone. Examples CH2Cl (HCFC-22) or CHCl2-CF2 (HCFC-123)

Explain the effects of cfc's on the ozone layer?
It breaks down ozone and have made parts of the ozone layer to weaken .
