4. Question
Which of the following chemicals is NOT associated with the depletion of Ozone layer?
CorrectSolution: D
Unique set of conditions was responsible for the ozone hole. In summer season, nitrogen dioxide and methane react with chlorine monoxide and chlorine atoms forming chlorine sinks, preventing much ozone depletion, whereas in winter, special type of clouds called polar stratospheric clouds are formed over Antarctica. These polar stratospheric clouds provide surface on which chlorine nitrate formed gets hydrolysed to form hypochlorous acid. It also reacts with hydrogen chloride produced as per reaction to give molecular chlorine. The chlorine radicals formed after some other reactions, initiate the chain reaction for ozone depletion.IncorrectSolution: D
