Chapter 17, Problem 34E

Pure ozone decomposes slowly to oxygen, $2{\text{O}}_3\to 3{\text{O}}_2\left(g\right)$. Use the data provided in a graphical method and determine the order and rate constant of the reaction.

Time (h)	0	$2.0\times {10}^3$	$7.6\times {10}^3$	$1.00\times {10}^4$
[O3](M)	$1.00\times {10}^{-5}$	$4.98\times {10}^{-6}$	$2.07\times {10}^{-6}$	$1.66\times {10}^{-6}$
Time (h)	$1.23\times {10}^4$	$1.43\times {10}^4$	$1.70\times {10}^4$
[O3](M)	$1.39\times {10}^{-6}$	$1.22\times {10}^{-6}$	$1.05\times {10}^{-6}$
