Nitric oxide, NO·, is a radical thought to cause ozone destruction by a mechanism similar to that of hydrofluorocarbons. One source of NO· in the stratosphere is supersonic aircraft whose jet engines convert small amounts of N2 and O2 to NO·. Write the propagation steps for the reaction of O3 with NO·.
