As weather balloons rise from the earths surface, the pressure of the atmosphere becomes less, tending to cause the volume of the balloons to expand. However, the temperatura is much lower in the upper atmosphere than at sea level. Would this temperatura effect tend to make such a balloon expand or contract? Weather balloons do, in fact, expand as they rise. What does this tell you?
It is known that carbon dioxide (CO2) emission is responsible for at least 50% of greenhouseemissions. Do we need to be concerned about GWP of CO2 when using it as a refrigerant?What is the ODP of CO2?
True or False: Nitrogen Oxide is a precursor for both photochemical smog and acid rain.
One of the components of smog is ozone,O3, a colorless, toxic gas. It is a very strong oxidizing agent and causes respiratory illnesses. Ozone is produced in the lower atmosphere due to the catalytic effect of nitric oxide, NO, a byproduct of the combustion process in car engines. However, in the upper atmosphere ozone is a very useful gas, because it absorbs ultraviolet radiation and protects the earth from this high energy, damaging radiation. It is referred to as the ozone layer. This ozone layer is depleted by the catalytic action of gases like Freon, which are commonly used in refrigerators and air conditioners. Chemically these gases are unreactive and rise into the upper atmosphere. The high energy radiation in the upper atmosphere produces very reactive chlorine atoms according to the reaction below: CCl2F2(g) → CClF2(g) + Cl(g) (catalyzed by uv radiation)The following questions refer to the depletion of ozone in the upper atmosphere according to the mechanism shown below:…
What emissions from human activities lead to ozone depletion? What are the chlorine reactions that destroy stratospheric ozone?
