(choose chapter or problem)

Like CFCs, certain bromine-containing compounds such as CF3Br can also participate in the destruction of ozone by a similar mechanism starting with the Br atom: CF3Br CF3 1 Br Given that the average CBr bond enthalpy is 276 kJ/mol, estimate the longest wavelength required to break this bond. Will this compound be decomposed in the troposphere only or in both the troposphere and stratosphere?
