Ozone in stratosphere is depleted by
- A \(\mathrm{CF}_3 \mathrm{Cl}\)
- B \(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_6 \mathrm{Cl}_2\)
- C \(\mathrm{CF}_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2\)
- D \(\mathrm{C}_7 \mathrm{F}_{16}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\mathrm{CF}_2 \mathrm{Cl}_2\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The depletion of the ozone layer in the stratosphere is primarily caused by chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). CFCs are compounds containing chlorine, fluorine, and carbon. When these compounds reach the stratosphere, they are decomposed by ultraviolet radiation to release chlorine…

- Given below are 2 statements: Assertion and Reason. Choose the correct option.
Assertion: When Molar conductivity for a strong electrolyte is plotted versus \(\sqrt{C}(\mathrm{~mol} / \mathrm{L})^{1 / 2}\), a straight line is obtained with intercept equal to Molar conductivity at infinite dilution for the electrolyte and Slope equal to \(-\mathrm{A}\). All electrolytes of a given type have the same \(\mathrm{A}\) value.
Reason: At infinite dilution, strong electrolytes of the same type will have different number of ions due to incomplete dissociation.COMEDK 2024 Medium - On passing \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~S}\) into a solution containing both \(\mathrm{Zn}^{2+}\) and \(\mathrm{Cu}^{2+}\) in acidic medium, only CuS gets precipitate(d) This is becauseCOMEDK 2012 Hard
