Concept introduction:
The standard enthalpy of a reaction is the difference between the sum of standard enthalpy of products and the sum of the standardenthalpy of reactants.
The wavelength is represented by the following expression:
Here, h is the Planck’s constant,
Answer to Problem 69AP
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
Given information: The given reaction is as follows:
The reaction is as follows:
The standard enthalpy of a reaction is calculated as follows:
For the given reaction, the enthalpy change is given by the following expression:

- Chlorine atoms contribute to the destruction of the Earths ozone layer by the following sequence of reactions: Cl + O3 ClO + O2 ClO + O Cl + O2 where the O atoms in the second step come from the decomposition of ozone by sunlight: O3(g) O(g) + O2(g) What is the net equation on summing these three equations? Why does this lead to ozone loss in the stratosphere? What is the role played by Cl in this sequence of reactions? What name is given to species such as ClO?arrow_forwardWhat is the biological importance of stratospheric ozone? Explain.arrow_forwardExplain the different mechanisms by which ozone is formed in the troposphere as a pollutant and in the stratosphere as a protective shield.arrow_forward
