Question

Ozone, O3, is an important absorber of UV radiation in our atmosphere. Upon absorption of UV radiation, O3 dissociates into molecular oxygen, O2, and a free oxygen atom. The free oxygen atom can then join with another O2 molecule to create more ozone, which can in turn absorb more UV radiation. Alternatively, the free oxygen atom could join with O3 to create more O2.

2 O3(g)→ 3 O2(g)
