Solution

The correct option is A Chlorine nitrate
The ozone depletion was related to halogen (chlorine)-catalyzed chemical reaction which takes place in the spring season in the Antarctic polar region. The chlorine is derived from manmade chlorofluorocarbons and reacts with nitric acid forms chlorine nitrate( $C l O N O_{2}$ ) (CFCs) in the stratosphere.
Hence option D is correct.

In Antarctica, ozone depletion is due to formation of the following compound :

Give mechanism of the following reactions:

(a) In lead chamber process, $N O (g)$ is used as a catalyst in the oxidation of $S O_{2}$ to $S O_{3}$ .

(b) $N O (g)$ catalyses the decomposition of ozone to oxygen.

In the reaction

$S + \frac{3}{2} O_{2} \to S O_{3} + 2 x k J$ and $S O_{2} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2} \to S O_{3} + y k J$

Heat of formation of $S O_{2}$ is

S + \frac{3}{2} O_{2} \to S O_{3} + 2 x k c a l

S O_{2} + \frac{1}{2} O_{2} \to S O_{3} + y k c a l

S O_{2}
