The Ozone hole Flashcards
Dobson Units (DU)
The units most frequently used when measuring the thickness of the ozone layer. Equal to the thickness of the ozon at Sea level in 0.01 mm

where is ozone the thickest?
Most ozone is produced at the equator, but it spreads out and gets thicker towards the poles

What causes ozone depeltion?
Chlorine from CFC’s acts as a catalyst, destroying ozone.

what causes the ozone hole?
In anartic winters clouds form that provide a site for inactive chlorine to be converted into Cl2 gass. when the sun comes back it breaks the gass down into active chlorine atoms, which o to town on the ozone. A vortex around the pole prevents outside air from coming in, exaserbating the problem.

the 90 rule
when a chemical name has a number at the end add 90 to that number to get the number of carbons, hydrogens, and florines, chlorine fills in the gaps.
