Both HBr and BrO (see problem ) are present in volcanic plumes. A model for reactions in the plume involves the following sequence:

BrO + HO2 -→HOBr + o2

HOBr+HBr→Br2+H2O

Br2 — 2Br

Br -|- O3 —BrO -|- O2

(a)    Briefly discuss the types of reactions shown above.


(b)    Discuss the roles of CIO and Cl in ozone depletion over Antarctica. Comment on any similarities between these reactions and those occurring in the volcanic plume.
