Question:

The reaction of atomic chlorine with ozone is the first step in the catalytic decomposition of stratospheric ozone by Cl ·.

Cl · (g) + O3(g) → ClO · (g) + O2(g)

At 298 K the rate constant for this reaction is 6.7 × 109 M−1 s−1. Experimentally the Arrhenius preexponential factor was determined to be 1.4 × 1010 M−1 s−1. Using this information, determine the activation energy for this reaction.
