Chapter 13, Problem 13.84QP

The decomposition of ozone is believed to occur in two steps:

$\begin{array}{llll}{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}\hfill & \stackrel{}{\rightleftharpoons }\hfill & {\text{O}}_{\text{2}}+\text{O}\hfill & (\text{elementary}\text{reaction})\hfill \\ {\text{O}}_{\text{3}}+\text{O}\hfill & \stackrel{}{\rightleftharpoons }\hfill & 2{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}\hfill & (\text{elementary}\text{reaction})\hfill \end{array}$

Identify any reaction intermediate. What is the overall reaction?
