Question

Task: Balance each equation in the mechanism below that shows the formation of ozone (O3) in the atmosphere.

Note: some of the equations below may already be balanced!

(i) In the first step, nitrogen and oxygen combine to form nitrogen monoxide

N2 + O2 ---> NO

(ii) In the next step, nitrogen monoxide reacts with more oxygen to produce nitrogen dioxide

NO + O2 ---> NO2

(iii) When nitrogen dioxide in the upper atmosphere absorbs UV radiation from the sun, it

decomposes to nitrogen monoxide and an oxygen atom

NO2 + UV light ---> NO + O

(iv) In the final step, the highly reactive oxygen atom combines with an oxygen molecule to

form ozone

O + O2 ---> O3

Answer 1

N2 + O2 ---> 2 NO add a 2 in front of NO

2 NO + O2 ---> 2NO2 add 2 in front of NO and NO₂

NO2 + UV light ---> NO + O already balanced

O + O2 ---> O3 already balanced
