### Decomposition of Chlorine Monoxide and Ozone DepletionChlorine monoxide (ClO) accumulates in the stratosphere above Antarctica each winter and plays a key role in the formation of the ozone hole above the South Pole each spring. Eventually, ClO decomposes according to the equation:\[ 2 \text{ClO}(g) \rightarrow \text{Cl}_2(g) + \text{O}_2(g) \]The second-order rate constant for the decomposition of ClO is \( 7.28 \times 10^9 \, \text{M}^{-1} \text{s}^{-1} \) at a particular temperature. Determine the half-life of ClO when its initial concentration is \( 1.06 \times 10^{-8} \, \text{M} \).
