Decomposition of Ozone
Upon interaction with UV radiation, ozone decomposes into oxygen, a process described in the following overall
chemical reaction:
2O3(g)<-->3O2(g)
The elementary reactions of the decomposition of ozone are:
O3<--K1__K-1-->O2+O (fast)
O+O3 --k2--> 2O2 (slow)
(a) Why does it make sense that the first elementary reaction is fast compared to the second one?
(b) Write out the rate laws for the elementary reactions in part a.
(c) Based on your answers in part a, what is the rate law of the overall reaction? Make sure your rate law
does not contain concentrations of intermediates.
(d) You may (or may not) have found that one of your reagents has a negative order in the rate law for the
overall reaction. What would it mean for a reagent to have a negative order, in terms of how it affects the
overall reaction rate? (Hint: if you were performing an experiment to determine the rate law, how would
the rate be affected if you added more of the reagent with a negative reaction order?) Why would this be
the case?

One of the components of smog is ozone,O3, a colorless, toxic gas. It is a very strong oxidizing agent and causes respiratory illnesses. Ozone is produced in the lower atmosphere due to the catalytic effect of nitric oxide, NO, a byproduct of the combustion process in car engines. However, in the upper atmosphere ozone is a very useful gas, because it absorbs ultraviolet radiation and protects the earth from this high energy, damaging radiation. It is referred to as the...
