I hope this is the right place!
I need help with steady state theory. Assuming that the concentrations of Cl, ClOOCl and ClOO are in steady state, below what is the steady state concentration of Cl.
I keep going over and over it, but never quiet getting the right answer i.e. ending up with cancelling [M] out or having CLOO in the numerator etc. The correct answer should be [Cl] = 2J1 k1[ClO]2 [M]/k4[O3](J1 + k2)
I have spent ages doing it, so could someone help me please?? I know it is something stupid I am doing wrong. Thank you in advance!
(1) ClO + ClO + M -> ClOOCl + M (k1)
(2) ClOOCl + hn -> Cl + ClOO (J1)
(3) ClOOCl + M -> 2 ClO + M (k2)
(4) ClOO + M -> Cl + O2 + M (k3)
(5) Cl + O3 -> ClO + O2 (k4)
