Question

7. Write down the Chapman mechanism and explain why it predicts a layer of ozone in the stratosphere. Why is the ozone concentration that is predicted by this mechanism significantly more than is observed from measurements?

Answer 1

Chapman mechanism and there explanation is given above

go write down the chapman mech a layer of own the Chapman mechanism 4 escplain why it Predicts yer of owne in the stratosphere, why is the ozone entration there is Predicted by this mechanism dignit tly more than is observed from measurements 2. niti un => Chapman mechanism ; 1- P - O2 Fast slow t o S2 + - -- 4 (51) Ozt ho oto Ca22400m] (52) 0+02+M - 03+m (53) Ozthau 02 to Calironm) CS4) 0370 5 202 Explanation : 1x In 1930 Sidney Chapman was first explain. the presence of ozone layer in the earth's stratosphere.
