$\dot{Cl}$

Vedclass · Answer

(A) The reaction between chlorine monoxide free radical $(\dot{ClO})$ and an oxygen atom $(\dot{O})$ is a key step in the depletion of the ozone layer.The chemical equation for this reaction is:$\dot{ClO}(g) + \dot{O}(g) \rightarrow \dot{Cl}(g) + O_2(g)$However,the question asks for the product formed when $\dot{ClO}$ reacts with an oxygen atom in the context of ozone depletion cycles,where the chlorine atom is regenerated.Based on the standard reaction mechanism: $\dot{ClO} + \dot{O} \rightarrow \dot{Cl} + O_2$.Therefore,the chlorine free radical $(\dot{Cl})$ is formed.
