The photo-oxidation of COCl2 occurs according to the following mechanism;
COCl2 + hv = COCl + Cl ...k1
COCl + O = CO2 +ClO ....k2
COCl2 + ClO= CO2 + Cl2 + Cl ....k3
COCl + Cl2= COCl2 + Cl ..k4
Cl + Cl = Cl2 .....k5
Use steady state approximation to deduce the rate lwa
What is the net chemical reaction?
Is this a chain reaction? Why or why not?
