Question

Select all of the following that are capable of destroying stratospheric ozone through chemical meAns : I.CF₂Cl₂ II.NO III.CO₂

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

I.CF₂Cl₂, also known as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), are a primary contributor to the destruction of stratospheric ozone. NO can also contribute to the depletion of ozone, but not through chemical means. CO₂, also known as carbonyl sulfide, does not have a significant effect on stratospheric ozone depletion. Therefore, options B and E can be eliminated. Option A includes CO₂, which is not a correct answer. Therefore, the correct answer is D, which includes the only two choices capable of destroying stratospheric ozone through chemical means: CFCs and NO.
