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, which incorporates
these
reactions. What is the overall reaction?
