Question

Ozone is depleted in the stratosphere by chlorine from CF3Cl according to this set of equations:
CF3Cl + UV light -------> CF3 + Cl
Cl + O3 ------>ClO + O2
O3 + UV light ---------> O2 + O
ClO + O ----------->Cl + O2

What total volume of ozone at a pressure of 25.0 mmHg and a temperature of 225 K is destroyed when all of the chlorine from 15.0 g of CF3Cl goes through ten cycles of the above reactions?
