The absorption of solar radiation in the stratosphere by
and
Concept introduction:
Stratosphere is the second lowest layer of Earth’s atmosphere and mainly contains
ozone, oxygen, and nitrogen.
Ozone is an allotrope of oxygen and is formed naturally in the ozone layer.

Write the two reactions that contribute most significantly to ozone destruction in the
stratosphere (non-catalyzed reactions).
O3 is produced in the troposphere through the photochemical oxidation of NO2. The photolytically formed O3 reacts with NO to regenerate NO2through the following reaction:O3(g) + NO(g) → NO2(g) + O2(g)
Calculate the equilibrium constant (K) of the reaction at 100 °C and 1 atm.
Define the term troposphere?
