Oxygen (O2)and Ozone (O3)coexist in the Stratosphere and Are in Equilibrium

question 39

Short Answer

Oxygen (O2)and ozone (O3)coexist in the stratosphere and are in equilibrium with one another:
3O2 ⇔ 2O3
a)Assuming that no other factors affect this equilibrium, if ozone (O3)is being "depleted" (somehow removed from the reaction system entirely), what is the direction of the equilibrium shift?
b)What must be happening to the concentration of oxygen (O2)as a result of the equilibrium shift predicted in part a?
