(choose chapter or problem)

In 1995, Mario Molina, Paul Crutzen, and F. Sherwood Rowland shared the Nobel Prize in chemistry for their work on atmospheric chemistry. One of several reaction sequences proposed for the role of chlorine in the decomposition of stratospheric ozone (well see another sequence in Chapter 16) is (1) Cl(g) _ O3(g) ClO(g) _ O2(g) (2) ClO(g) _ ClO(g) Cl2O2(g) (3) Cl2O2(g) 2Cl(g) _ O2(g) Over the tropics, O atoms are more common in the stratosphere: (4) ClO(g) _ O(g) Cl(g) _ O2(g) (a) Which, if any, of these are oxidation-reduction reactions? (b) Write an overall equation combining reactions 13.
