For the chemical reaction, \begin{gathered}\mathrm{O}_3 \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{O}_2+\mathrm{O} \text{ (fast) } \\ \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{O}_3 \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{O}_2 \text{ (slow) }\end{gathered}$
The rate law expression will be
Options
- A
- B\left[\mathrm{O}_3\right]^2
- C
- DUnpredictable
Correct answer
B. \left[\mathrm{O}_3\right]^2
Step-by-step solution
As slowest step is the rate determining step.
Hence, from slow reaction, \left[\mathrm{O}_3\right]...(i)K_C=\frac{\left[\mathrm{O}_2\right][\mathrm{O}]}{\left[\mathrm{O}_3\right]} \Rightarrow K_C \cdot Rate $(r)=K^{\prime}\left[\mathrm{O}_3\right]^2 \cdot\left[\mathrm{O}_2\right]^{-1}\left(K^{\prime}=K_C \cdot K\right)
