Which of the following statements regarding stratospheric ozone is NOT true?
A) The natural decomposition reaction,2 O3(g) 3 O2(g) ,has a higher activation energy than ozone decomposition catalyzed by chlorine atoms.
B) One chlorine atom can catalyze the destruction of hundreds to thousands of O3 molecules.
C) Chlorine atoms react with O3 to make ClO,another reactive species.
D) Chlorine atoms are regenerated when chlorine monoxide reacts with O2.
E) The speed with which O3 decomposes is greatly enhanced in the presence of Cl atoms,which provide a lower-energy reaction mechanism.
