An Unusual Atmospheric Reaction Leading to Ozone Distruction Is CF₃O $\to$

question 10

Multiple Choice

An unusual atmospheric reaction leading to ozone distruction is CF₃O + O₃ $\to$ CF₃O₂ + O₂, the analysis of which has yielded an Arrhenius frequency factor (A) and activation energy of 2.0 $\times$ 10^-12 cm³ molecule^-1 s^-1 and 11.6 kJ/mol, respectively. Calculate the rate constant for this reaction at an altitude of 35 km, where the temperature is -34°C.

• B)1.2 \(\times\) 10⁹ M^-1 s^-1
• C)3.5 \(\times\) 10⁶ M^-1 s^-1
• D)7.9 \(\times\) 10^-15 M^-1 s^-1
• E)6.8 \(\times\) 10⁸ M^-1 s^-1
