Addition of which of the following reactants would lead to the formation of more hydrogen gas? magnesium water hydrochloric acid magnesium chloride.
In Module #4, we discussed the role of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in catalyzing the destruction of O3 in the stratosphere. One example of a CFC that is known to exasperate formation of the hole in the O3 layer is dichlorodifluoromethane (CF2Cl2). In the year 2000, this chemical reached its peak concentration of 2.2 x 10-11 M in the atmosphere. The destruction of CF2Cl2 can be approximated as a first-order process and the 1996 treaty on CFC emissions has eliminated its release into the atmosphere. Given that the rate constant for destruction of CF2Cl2 in the atmosphere is 0.009 yr-1, how long will it take for the concentration of CF2Cl2 to decline to 0.22 x 10-11 M?
