The gas-phase decomposition of ozone is thought to oc- cur by the following two-step mechanism. Step 1: 03(8) = 02(8) + O(g) (fast) Step 2: 0(8) + O,(8) → 202(8) (slow) (a) Write the balanced equation for the overall reaction. (b) Derive the rate law that is consistent with this mecha- nism. (Hint: The product appears in the rate law.) (c) Is O a catalyst or an intermediate? (d) If instead the reaction occurred in a single step, would the rate law change? If so, what would it be?

The mechanism for the reaction described by the equation CH,NC(g) CH, CN(g) is suggested to be k1 (1) A(g) + M(g) = A" (g) + M(g) k-1 k2 * (2) А (g) → B(g) where A(g) is CH, NC(g), M(g) is any gas molecule, A* (g) is CH,NC*(g) (an energized gas molecule), and B(g) is CH,CN(g). Assuming that [A* ] is governed by steady-state conditions, derive the rate law for the production of CH, CN(g) in terms of [A], [M], and the appropriate k values.
