Key Equations

$$\text{R1:} \quad \text{O}_2 + h\nu \xrightarrow{J_1} 2\text{O} \qquad (\lambda < 242\;\text{nm})$$
$$[\text{O}_3]_{\text{Chapman}} = \left(\frac{J_1\,k_2\,[\text{O}_2]^2\,[M]}{J_3\,k_4}\right)^{1/2}$$
$$\text{Net:} \quad \text{O}_3 + \text{O} \rightarrow 2\text{O}_2$$
$$\text{ClO} + \text{ClO} + M \rightarrow \text{Cl}_2\text{O}_2 + M$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
