One of the concerns about the use of Freons is that they will migrate to the upper atmosphere, where chlorine atoms can be generated by the reaction Chlorine atoms also can act as a catalyst for the destruction of ozone. The first step of a proposed mechanism for chlorine-catalyzed ozone destruction is Cl (g) + O3 (g) → ClO (g) + O2 (g) Slow Assuming a two-step mechanism, propose the second step in the mechanism and give the overall balanced equation.arrow_forward
