    1) Human processes are releasing halogen gases like CCl3F and CHBr2 that deplete the ozone layer when broken down by UV light. 2) The halogen radicals (X) react with ozone molecules (O3) to form XO radicals that lead to further ozone loss. 3) Laboratory experiments and theoretical calculations show that the rate of the XO + HO2 reaction, which controls ozone depletion, has a negative temperature dependence meaning lower temperatures lead to faster reactions.

    DEPLETION
    OZONE LAYER
    CCl3F + uv -> Cl
    CHBr2 + uv -> Br
    Human processes are forming toxic halogens
    which is X in general.
    X + O3 -> XO + O2
    XO is a radical and leads to more O3 loss.
    XO + HO2
    / \
    HX + O3 HOX + O2
    (ozone forming) (ozone depleting) Ozone layer protect us from strong UV.

    Rate Coefficient is important because:


    1: Halogen species are long lived gases, small
    amount can destroy large amounts of ozone. RESULT
    2: comparing which halogen has a greater
    impact on the stratosphere and contributes
    to ozone layer. Lab experiment and Theoretical (ab initio)
    both show Temperature Dependence is
    negative. This means the lower the
    temperature, the faster the reaction.

    The ozone layer is depleting!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK WE CAN DO TO AVOID IT?
