Question

By analogy with the reactions of atomic chlorine, write balanced for the reaction of atomic iodine with ozone and for the dimerizati lanced equations limerization of 10

Answer 1

lodine monoxide (10) Source Atmospheric lodine cycle 12 h, 101 010 - Aerosol CH2l2 CH31 IONO HOI NO2 Но, Aerosol Aerosol Deposition Ocean $ 10 is important radical to understand the chemistry in the marine boundary layer (MBL).

C1 + 03 — C10 + 02 C10 + 03 — C1 + 202 overall 203 —> 302

Iodine on photochemical reaction it convert to atomic iodine, which on treatment with ozone leads to IO, which further dimerise form OIO. Whereas in the case of Cl2, it forms chlorine monoxide and which on further treatment with ozone again reverts back to atomic chlorine and molecular oxygen. Hence in chlorine no dimerisation occurs.
