Problem

Chlorine atoms catalyze the stratospheric conversion of ozone to oxygen. One elementary step in a proposed mechanism is (1) Cl + O₃ → ClO + O₂ Which additional single elementary step would complete a two-step mechanism that both regenerates Cl and gives the overall reaction O₃ + O → 2 O₂ ? a) ClO + O₃ → Cl + 2 O₂ b) ClO + O₂ → Cl + O₃ c) ClO + O → Cl + O₂ d) ClO → Cl + O
