Chlorine atoms from CFC molecules speed the breakdown of stratospheric O3 in a process that is affected by both homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis.

True or False?

Respuesta :

Answer:

False, just heterogeneous.

Explanation:

Hello,

Ozone layer degradation by the CFC molecules occur in gaseous phase since no liquids or solids are involved at those stratospheric conditions. In addition, that is a chemical reaction undergoing by itself as long as the ozone ([tex]O_3[/tex]) is pretty much chemically unstable, so there is no necessity of a catalyst.

Best regards.
