Add the following reactions together:
ClO(g)+O3(g)ClO2(g)+O(g)??ClO2(g)+O2(g)ClO(g)+O2(g)
Identify which species are intermediates, which are catalysts, and which are only reagents or products.
Drag each item to the appropriate bin.

Following are the given reactions 1 and 2:
ClO (g) + O3 (g) -------------> ClO2 (g) + O2 (g)……………reaction1
ClO2 (g) + O(g) ----------------> ClO (g) + O2 (g)……………reaction2
____________________________________________________________
Add them: ClO (g) + O3 (g) + O(g) ------> 2O2 (g) + ClO (g)……….net reaction
ClO2 is an intermediate as it is generated in the reaction 1 and consumed in reaction 2. As can be seen from the net reaction no ClO2 appears in it.
ClO is a catalyst as it has reacted in the reaction 1 but regenerated in the reaction 2.
O3 and O are reactants and O2 is the product.
