Answer- Thinning of the atmospheric ozone layer is known as ozone depletion which is caused by the release of different chemicals from factories and other human activities. Ozone depletion increases the quantity of ultraviolet radiation that can injure living beings on Earth. Ozone layer is very important to block UV rays and its depletion may cause various dangerous effects on Earth.
10. Ozone layer. The destruction of the ozone layer by chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) can be described by the following reactions: CIO (g) + 03--CI (g) + 2O2(g) Δ/h,--29.90 kJ 2 0, (g)- 30 g)n +24.18 kJ Use the preceding AHxn values to determine the value of the standard heat of reaction for this reaction: Cl (g) + O3 (g)-CIO(g) + O2 (g) AHan rxn

Can the ozone hole be filled and the ozone layer restored? With the aid of equations, explain your answer.
• It has been suggested that the term ozone screen would be a better phrase than ozone layer to describe ozone in the stratosphere. List/discuss at least one advantage and one disadvantage of each term? (2pts)
hat is the role of Ozone layer in earth's atmosphere?
the ozone layer absorb harmful wavelength of light
7. Write down the Chapman mechanism and explain why it predicts a layer of ozone in the stratosphere. Why is the ozone concentration that is predicted by this mechanism significantly more than is observed from measurements?
CO2 in the atmosphere is absorbed by and converted into biomass. the ozone layer photosynthetic organisms other atmosphere gases urban areas

5. Chlorine destroys the Earth's ozone layer by the following precess. CI + O3 → CIO +02 ClO + O → Cl +O2 The O atoms in the second step come from the decomposition of ozone by sunlight: A. What is the net reaction for these three steps? B. What is the role of the chlorine atoms? C. Are there any intermediates? If yes, identify
