 Consider the following half-reaction containing acid HX below.  

3 N2(g) + 2 H+(aq) + 2 e-  →  2 HX (aq)  E°red = -3.09 V 

In Appendix 6 of your textbook, you discover the following half reaction which contains ozone, O3.  

O3(g) + 2 H+(aq) + 2 e-  →  O2(g) + H2O (l)  E°red = 2.076 V  

Could HX be applied to mitigate ozone, O3(g), depletion in the atmosphere? Write the balanced equation for the reaction used and explain why or why not using your calculated E°cell value.
