A proposed mechanism for ozone destruction in the late spring over northern latitudes in the lower stratosphere begins with the photochemical decomposition of ClONO2 to Cl and NO3, followed by photochemical decomposition of the latter to NO and O2. Deduce a catalytic ozone destruction cycle, requiring no atomic oxygen, that incorporates these reactions. What is the overall reaction?

Consider the mechanism proposed for the decomposition of ozone in the stratosphere: Step 1: O3 (g) → O2 (g) + O (g) Step 2: O3 (g) + O (g) → 2 O2 (g) Overall reaction: 2 O3 (g) → 3 O2 (g) What is molecularity of the first step? Unimolecular Bimolecular Termolecular Unable to predict
Ozone decomposes to molecular oxygen: 2 O3(g) ⇋ 3 O2(g). The
following is a proposed mechanism for the reaction:
Step 1: O3(g) ⇋ O2(g) + O(g) (fast) Step 2: O3(g) + O(g) ⇋ 2
O2(g) (slow)
Provide a valid rate law for the overall ozone decomposition
reaction based on this mechanism.
