Question

Formation of ozone from oxygen is an endothermic process. In the upper atmosphere, ultraviolet is the source of energy that drives the reaction. Assuming that both the reactions and the products of the reaction are in standard states, the standard enthalpy of formation of ozone from the following information:
$$3O_{2} (g) \rightarrow 2O_{3} (g), \triangle H^{o} = 286\ kJ$$, is

A
$$+143\ kJ/mol$$
B
$$+286\ kJ/mol$$
C
$$-143\ kJ/mol$$
D
$$-286\ kJ/mol$$
Solution

Q3
The ozone layer in the earth's upper atmosphere is important in shielding the earth from very harmful ultraviolet radiation. The ozone, O3, decomposes according to the equation 2O3(g)3O2(g). The mechanism of the reaction is thought to proceed through an initial fast, reversible step and then a slow second step.
Step 1 : Fast, reversible, O3(g)O2(g)+O(g)
Step 2 : Slow, O3(g)+O(g)2O2(g)
