Chapter 2, Problem 48Q
Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) play an important role in stratospheric ozone depletion.
- a. Why do PSCs form more often over Antarctica than in the Arctic?
- b. Reactions occur more quickly on the surface of PSCs than in the atmosphere. One such reaction is that of two species that do not deplete ozone, hydrogen chloride and chlorine nitrate (ClONO2), which react to produce a chlorine molecule and nitric acid (HNO3). Write the chemical equation.
- c. The chlorine molecule produced does not deplete ozone either. However, when sunlight returns to the Antarctic in the springtime, it is converted to a species that does. Show how this happens using a chemical equation.
