Question

Chlorofluorocarbons may be harming the ozone layer by ____.

a.
adding more ozone molecules
c.
destroying ozone molecules
b.
blocking ultraviolet radiation
d.
adding carbon dioxide molecules

Answer 1

C is the correct answer.  CFC's destroy ozone molecules.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Destroying ozone molecules

Step-by-step explanation:

Chlorofluorocarbons known as CFCs are chemical compounds that contain chlorine, fluorine, carbon, and hydrogen; these substances can be found in products such as aerosols or refrigerants. Additionally, CFCs are related to the depletion of the ozone layer that refers to a decrease in the amount of ozone in the atmosphere. Indeed it has been found CFCs destroy ozone molecules that filter UV radiation and because of this, they might be responsible for most of the ozone depletion. This implies Chlorofluorocarbons may be harming the ozone layer by destroying ozone molecules.
