Interpretation Introduction

To find:

Which of the given reaction is the fastest if the initial concentrations of all the reactants are the same?

a) ${ClO}_2\left(g\right)+O_3\left(g\right)\to {ClO}_3\left(g\right)+O_2\left(g\right) ;k=3.0\times {10}^{-19}{cm}^3/(molecule.s)$

b) ${ClO}_2\left(g\right)+NO\left(g\right)\to {NO}_2\left(g\right)+ClO\left(g\right) ;k=3.4\times {10}^{-11}{cm}^3/(molecule.s)$

c) $ClO\left(g\right)+NO\left(g\right)\to Cl\left(g\right)+{NO}_2\left(g\right) ;k=1.7\times {10}^{-11}{cm}^3/(molecule.s)$

d) $ClO\left(g\right)+O_3\left(g\right)\to {ClO}_2\left(g\right)+O_2\left(g\right) ;k=1.5\times {10}^{-17}{cm}^3/(molecule.s)$
