Question

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded in 1995 to Paul Crutzen, Mario Molina and Sherwood Rowland for research showing the chlorofluorcarbons (CFCs) were catalyzing the destruction of ozone in the stratosphere. The catalytic process can be described by a two step mechanism:

(1) Cl + O₃ --> ClO + O₂ (slow)

(2) ClO + O --> Cl + O₂(fast)

Determine the overall reaction for this mechanism, and answer the following question:

In this mechanism Cl acts as a(n) ______________ and ClO acts as a(n) ___________________.

	a.	reagent, intermediate
	b.	intermediate, catalyst
	c.	catalyst, intermediate
	d.	intermediate, product
