Step 1
The first reaction involves ozone (O3) and nitric oxide (NO) as reactants, producing nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and oxygen (O2). The second reaction involves nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and atomic oxygen (O) as reactants, producing nitric oxide (NO) and oxygen (O2). Show more…

One method for the destruction of ozone in the upper atmosphere is: NO + NO2 + O3 (slow) -> NO2 + NO + O2 (fast) overall reaction: O3 + NO2 -> NO + O2. The species NO and NO2 are intermediates.

A proposed mechanism for one of the pathways for the destruction of ozone in the atmosphere is: step 1 slow: O3 + NO NO2 + O2 step 2 fast: NO2 + O NO + O2 (1) What is the equation for the overall reaction? Use the smallest integer coefficients possible. If a box is not needed, leave it blank. _____ + _______ --> _____ + _______ (2) Which species acts as a reaction intermediate? Enter formula. If none, leave box blank: (3) Complete the rate law for the overall reaction that is consistent with this mechanism. (Use the form k[A]m[B]n... , where '1' is understood (so don't write it) for m, n etc.) Rate = __________
