A possible mechanism for the conversion of ozone to oxygen in the upper atmosphere is O3(g) ⇌ O2(g) — Kinetics Chemistry Question
Question
A possible mechanism for the conversion of ozone to oxygen in the upper atmosphere is
O3(g) ⇌ O2(g) + O(g) (fast equilibrium)
O(g) + O3(g) ⇌ 2O2(g) (slow)
Which rate law is consistent with this mechanism?
A.
Rate = k[O3]
B.
Rate = k[O3]^2
C.
Rate = k[O3][O]
D.✓ Correct
Rate = k[O3]^2[O2]–1
