Question:

Hundreds of different reactions occur in the stratosphere, among them reactions that destroy the Earth’s ozone layer. The table below lists several (second order) reactions of Cl atoms with ozone and organic compounds; each is given with its rate constant.Reaction (a) CI+ 03  CIO + O (b) CI+ CH4  HCI + CH3 (c) Cl + C3H8  HCI + C3H7 (d) CI+ CHFCI HCI + CHFCI Rate

For equal concentrations of Cl and the other reactant, which is the slowest reaction? Which is the fastest reaction?
