When O2 breaks down, does it absorb much less UV than O3? Can the increase in chlorine concentrations in the stratosphere really be down to CFCs? Did we seriously use that much? The stratosphere is huge.
How much does an increase in chlorine diminish ozone concentrations?
The chemistry at a basic level makes sense but nothing really explains the exact effects.
this should be posted on the troll physics channel.
chemicals dont react over and over like that. THe O2 and O3 bonds are created with the help of UV energy, that is real.
The chlorine molecule reacting over, and over, and over....dont work that way. When a molecule reacts once it becomes inert until energy breaks its bonds. You should show how CLO and CLO2 molecules also must absorb UV to free the CL from the O to continue to react.
@bweazel In UV light chlorine-chlorine bonds break homolytically (meaning an electron from the covalent bond moves to each chlorine) causing two chlorine free radicals. Cl(free radical)+O3 reacts to from ClO(free radical) + O2
However ClO(free radical) +O3 react to from 2O2 +Cl(free radical)
which goes back to do
Cl(free radical)+O3 to from ClO(free radical) + O2
The chlorine free radical is purely a catalyst. The reaction is 2O3 reacts to form 3O2. The chlorine is not used up.
@9hello123 Thank you. Do you really believe this is a problem though? This "hole" seems to follow the solar output more than it just being some irreversible downward trend. What do you think?
@bweazel I don't believe it's a problem no, as we have dealt with it by not using many CFCs now. However if we continued to use CFCs there is no doubt whatsoever that there would of been a problem. Once we started using CFCs we noticed very large holes in the ozone forming, and when we stopped using them they stopped forming and started to recover. There is doubt that CFCs would cause a very large problem if they were continued to be used in large quantities.
Why can't split O react with N2 to form NO2?

By this logic CFC's are also blocking UV.
