Question
Chapter 21, Problem 21.60QP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The drawback of spraying hydrocarbons such as ethane and propane in the stratosphere on a large scale for an extended period of time to eliminate chlorine atom should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
- Global warming is a serious environmental issue, in which there is an increase in the overall temperature of the earth by various factors.
- Greenhouse gases are the gases that trap heat in the atmosphere.
- Stratosphere; It is layer above the troposphere, which consists of nitrogen, oxygen, and ozone. In the stratosphere, the air temperature increases with altitude.
- Ozone layer depletion is the destruction process of ozone layer by various chemicals mainly chlorofluorocarbons (CFC).
To explain: the elimination of chlorine atom by hydrocarbon spraying in the stratosphere.
