Remember to keep your work neat and orderly. 1) Destruction of the ozone layer takes place when its component ozone (O3) is converted into oxygen gas (O2) as shown by the following chemical equation. O3 +0-202 Although degradation of O3 happens naturally, there are some man-made substances that cause this process to take place at a rate which is harmful to the environment. One such substance is chlorofluorocarbon or CFC. In the presence of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, a chlorine (Cl) atom from CFC reacts with O3 and converts it to O2 at a faster rate. This is shown by the 2 equations below. Cl + 03 - ClO + O2 Clo + 0 - Cl + O2 In this process, the chlorine atom acts as 2) Pepsin is an enzyme present in gastric juice.
