Q.

What would happen if the ozone layer in the atmosphere disappears?

1. Chlorine nitrate
2. $S{O}_2$ and $S{O}_3$
3. peroxy acetyl nitrate
4. Acrolein

Q. Which disease is caused due to hole in the ozone layer and why?

Q.

what are the effects of radiation?

Q. Cataract and skin cancer are caused by __________.

1. depletion of nitric oxide
2. depletion of ozone layer
3. increase in methane
4. depletion of nitrous oxide

Q. Ozone layer of stratosphere requires protection from indiscriminate use of ____________ .

1. pesticides
2. atomic explosions
3. aerosols and high flying jet
4. balloons

Q. Which one of the following can cause depletion of ozone?

1. $H_{2}S$
2. $NO$
3. Smoke
4. Aqua sols

Q. Which of the following statements about the depletion of ozone layer is correct?

1. Oxides of nitrogen also do not react with ozone in stratosphere.
2. The problem of ozone depletion is less serious at poles because $N{O}_2$ solidifies and is not available for consuming $ClO$ radicals.
3. Freons, chlorofluorocarbons, are inert chemically, they do not react with ozone in stratosphere.
4. The problem of ozone depletion is more serious at poles because ice crystals in the clouds over poles act as catalyst for photochemical reactions involving the decomposition of ozone by $Cl$ and $ClO$ radicals.

Q. Chlorofluorocarbons are effective scavengers for ozone due to:

1. photolytic reaction of $O_2$ producing $Cl$ radicals
2. photolytic decomposition of $O_3$ producing $O_2$
3. photolytic production of oxides of nitrogen
4. photolytic reaction of $O_3$ and $CFCs$

Q. What is Ozone layer? What are the reasons for its depletion? How the life on the Earth is affected by Ozone layer depletion?

Q. State briefly the reactions causing ozone layer depletion in the stratosphere.

Q. Freon is not recommended to be used in refrigerators because they:

1. increase temperature
2. deplete ozone
3. affect human body
4. affect environment
