The chemical reaction proceeds as follows:

rate law expression should be:

rate law expression should be:
Options
- A\mathrm{r}=\mathrm{k}
- B\left[\mathrm{O}_{3}\right]^{2}
- C\left[\mathrm{O}_{3}\right]^{2}
- D\left[\mathrm{O}_{3}\right]
Correct answer
B. \left[\mathrm{O}_{3}\right]^{2}
Step-by-step solution
$\mathrm{r}=\frac{\mathrmk^{\prime}\left[\mathrm{O}_{3}\right] \mathrm{k}\left[\mathrm{O}_{3}\right]}{\left[\mathrm{O}_{2}\right]}=\mathrm{k}\left[\mathrm{O}_{3}\right]^{2}\left[\mathrm{O}_{2}\right]^{-1}$ Note: Intermediates are never represented in rate law equation.
