Detailed Solution

Following is the series of reaction that takes place.

CFCl3Cl+C.FCl2  (In this step, chloroform breaks into chlorine and a C.FCl2 radical.)

Cl.+O3ClO.+O2  (In this step, the chlorine radical reacts with ozone to form oxygen and ClO radicals.)

Further, the ClO radical reacts with O to form even more chlorine radicals and oxygen, thereby contributing more to the conversion of ozone to oxygen. Thus, the chlorine radical reacts with ozone to form oxygen.
