ozone depletion equation
pls refer to the photo , i cant understand the notes on no8 . Why the net reaction is 2O3 →3O2?? after cancelling the ClO radical , i still cant get the equation right. pls help !!!

You could add O3 -> O2 + O. (O. appearing in step two of propagation).
I prefer ClO. + O3 -> Cl. + 2O2 in step 2.
I prefer ClO. + O3 -> Cl. + 2O2 in step 2.
why the author doesnt include the reaction equation O3 -> O2 + O. in the notes? this is making me confused.....

can you explain how is the equation ClO. + O3 -> Cl. + 2O2 in step 2. different form the propagation steps in the books?
I may be wrong (although Wikipedia agrees with my version of the equation), but it makes kinetic sense.
There is lots of O2 and some O3 in the high atmosphere. A small number of these are zapped by u.v. forming some O.
CFCs are zapped by u.v. forming a few Cl.
What is Cl. going to bump into? Most likely O2 or O3, forming a ClO. But what will that bump into? Most likely O2 or O3, how often will it bump into an O.?
