Q

What happens to CFC’s in the ozone?

A

The CFC goes through homolytic fission from the UV light to make a chlorine radical - initiation
The chlorine radical can react with the ozone to make oxygen and a ClO radical
The ClO can react with ozone to make oxygen and a chlorine radical

Q

What is the reaction equations with CFC’s in the ozone?

A

Initiation:
UV .
CF2Cl2 —> CClF2 + Cl

Propagation:
 .                    .
Cl + O3 —> ClO + O2
  .                      .
ClO + O3 —> Cl + 2O2
17
Q

What are the negative affects of CFC’s?

A 
They cause:
Increased risk of sunburn
Increased risk of cataracts
Increased risk of cancer
Accelerated skin ageing
18
Q

What agreement caused the CFC’s to be banned?

A

The Montreal Protocol

19
Q

What are the changes that the Montreal Protocol made?

A

CHC’s were banned
Aerosols now use butane
Old fridges must be recycled ins special way

20
Q

Where are CHC’s still used?

A

Low income use them because of their cheapness and many uses
