Given below are two statements : Statement I : Chlorofluoro carbons...

Given below are two statements :
Statement II : Chlorofluoro carbons breakdown by radiation in the visible energy region and release chlorine gas in the atmosphere which then reacts with stratospheric ozone.

Statement IIII : Atmospheric ozone reacts with nitric oxide to give nitrogen and oxygen gases, which add to the atmosphere.

For the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Given below are two statements : Statement I : Chlorofluoro carbons breakdown by radiation in the visible energy region

Options

  1. AStatement II is incorrect but statement IIII is true
  2. BBoth statement II and IIII are false
  3. CStatement II is correct but statement IIII is false
  4. DBoth statement II and IIII are correct

Correct answer

B. Both statement II and IIII are false

Step-by-step solution

Statement I:I:

CFCsCFCs are broken down by powerful UV radiation and releases chlorine free radical which reacts with ozone and start chain reaction.

Given below are two statements : Statement I : Chlorofluoro carbons breakdown by radiation in the visible energy region

Statement II:II:
Atmosphere ozone reacts with nitric oxide to produce nitrogen dioxide and oxygen.

NO(g)+O3(g)→NO2(g)+O2(g){NO}_{( g )} + {O}_{3 ( g )} \to {NO}_{2 ( g )} + {O}_{2 ( g )}
