Answer: The rate law for the decomposition of ozone to
Chapter 13, Problem 57P(choose chapter or problem)
The rate law for the decomposition of ozone to molecular oxygen
\(2 \mathrm{O}_{3}(g) \rightarrow 3 \mathrm{O}_{2}(g)\)
is
\(\text{ rate }=k\frac{\left[\mathrm{O}_3\right]^2}{\left[\mathrm{O}_2\right]}\)
The mechanism proposed for this process is
Derive the rate law from these elementary steps. Clearly state the assumptions you use in the derivation. Explain why the rate decreases with increasing \(O_{2}\) concentration.
