Chlorine monoxide is a chemical radical with the chemical formula ClO •. It plays an important role in the process of ozone depletion. In the stratosphere, chlorine atoms react with ozone molecules to form chlorine monoxide and oxygen. Cl • + O 3 → ClO • + O 2. This reaction causes the depletion of the ozone layer. [1]
CO 2 is an asphyxiant gas and not classified as toxic or harmful in general. [73] Workplace exposure limits exist in places like UK (5,000 ppm for long-term exposure and 15,000 ppm for short-term exposure). [71] Natural disasters like the limnic eruption at Lake Nyos can result in a sudden release of huge amount of CO 2 as well. [74]
CO 2 + H 2 O → H 2 CO 3 → H + + HCO − 3. 5–10% is dissolved in blood plasma [74] 5–10% is bound to hemoglobin as carbamino compounds [74] Hemoglobin, the main oxygen-carrying molecule in red blood cells, carries both oxygen and carbon dioxide. However, the CO 2 bound to hemoglobin does not bind to the same site as oxygen. Instead, it ...
Dichlorine trioxide, Cl 2 O 3, is a chlorine oxide. It is a dark brown solid discovered in 1967 which is explosive even below 0 °C. [2] It is formed by the low-temperature photolysis of ClO 2 and is formed along with Cl 2 O 6, Cl 2 and O 2. Its structure is believed to be OCl−ClO 2 with possible isomers such as Cl−O−ClO 2. [3]
2 is heated in an atmosphere of chlorine Cl 2. The trichloride is formed through the equilibrium 2 CoCl 2 + Cl 2 ↔ 2 CoCl 3. At 918 K (below the melting point of CoCl 2, 999 K), the trichloride was the predominant cobalt species in the vapor, with partial pressure of 0.72 mm Hg versus 0.62 for the dichloride. However, equilibrium shifts to ...
