K27 202(9) QUESTION 5
5(a) Ozone depletion is a major global problem and leads to increased amounts of ultraviolet
exposure that is experienced on earth, which in turn leads to the development of skin
cancer. Below is the mechanism of ozone degradation:

one state would change   like louisiana to texas. thats a change

explanation:

  the   balanced   equation   for   reaction of   ca metal   with   o2 to   produce   cao   is as below

2 ca+ o2→ 2 cao2

  explanation

the reaction is   balanced     since the   number of atoms   in reactant side is   equal to   number of atoms   in   product side.   for   example   they   are 2   atom of   ca in   reactant   side   and   2   atoms of ca   in   the product side.

  the   process   is a   meet the   requirement   of   redox   reaction because :     calcium   is   oxidized   from   oxidation state 0   to 2+   while   oxygen   is reduced from   oxidation   state   0   to 2-
