The chemical reaction, 2 O ₃ 3 O ₂ proceeds as follows : O ₃ O ₂+ O .(fast) Step 2: O + O ₃ 2 O ₂ .(slow) The rate law expression should be
Options
- Ar=k^ [ O ₃ ] [ O ₂ ]
- Br=k^ [ O ₃ ]^2 [ O ₂ ]⁻¹
- Cr=k^ [ O ₃ ]^2
- Dunpredictable.
Correct answer
B. r=k^ [ O ₃ ]^2 [ O ₂ ]⁻¹
Step-by-step solution
As the slowest step is the rate determining step, hence from step 2 , From step 1, K_ e q = [ O ₂ ][ O ] [ O ₃ ] From eq. (i) and (ii), r=k K_ e q [ O ₃ ]^2 [ O ₂ ] =k^ [ O ₃ ]^2 [ O ₂ ]⁻¹ [ k^ =k K_ e q ]
