Question
Ozone in the upper atmosphere is decomposed by nitro-
gen oxide through the reaction
03 + NO →02 + NO2
The experimental rate expression for this reaction is
rate = k[O3 ][NO]
Which, if any, of the following mechanisms are consistent
with the observed rate expression?
(a) O3 + NO –→0+NO;
0 + 03 →2 02
NO3 + NO → 2 NO2
(b) O3 + NO – 02 NO2
(c) NO+ NO=N2O2
N2O2 + O; → NO2 + 2 O2
