In the following sequence of reactions, the gaseous species A ,   B ,   D ,   E , respectively, are
Options
- ACF ˙ 2 Cl ,   C ˙ l ,   C ˙ l ,   C ˙ lO
- BCF ˙ 2 ,   Cl ˙ 2 ,   O ,   Cl ˙
- CC ˙ Cl 4 ,   F 2 ,   C ˙ lO 3 ,   Cl ˙ 2
- DCl ˙ ,   C ˙ F 2 Cl ,   ClO ˙ ,   Cl ˙
Correct answer
D. Cl ˙ ,   C ˙ F 2 Cl ,   ClO ˙ ,   Cl ˙
Step-by-step solution
The first step is the chlorine release from the CFCs : CF 2 Cl 2 + UV   light → Cl · ( A ) + CF 2 Cl · ( B ) The second step is the catalytic ozone destruction. In this step, one ozone molecule is destroyed. Cl · ( A ) + O 3   → ClO · ( D ) + O 2 Lastly, the chlorine atom is regenerated. ClO · ( D ) + O → Cl ( E ) + O 2
