Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The breakdown of CFCs needs to be classified as a macroscopic or microscopic observation.
Concept introduction:
The observations that are large enough to be seen by naked eyes are said to be macroscopic observation whereas the observations that are very small and needs magnifying device to observe them are said to microscopic observations.
Answer to Problem 50A
The breakdown of CFCs is classified as microscopic observations.
Explanation of Solution
The breakdown of CFCs results in the formation of chemicals that react with ozone is classified as a microscopic observation as for the justification of the reactions that are taking place cannot be provided from naked eyes so, in order to determine the reactions, the observation should be made under microscopic levels.
