20.79. Many gas-phase reactions require some inert body, usually represented as M, to absorb or supply energy in a col- lision in order to proceed. In the spontaneous decomposition of ozone, O3, we can suggest the mechanism O3 + M – O,* + M RDS 03* O2 + •O- -0- + 03 – 202 for the overall reaction 203 → 30, In the mechanism, O3* refers to an ozone molecule in some energetically excited state that can react spontaneously to form O, and O atoms. Determine the rate law of the proposed mechanism in terms of O3 and M, where the second step is the rate-determining step. Will adding an inert gas like Ar to a sample of ozone increase or decrease the rate of the reaction?
