The Following Mechanism Has Been Suggested for the Decomposition of Ozone

Question 69

Multiple Choice

The following mechanism has been suggested for the decomposition of ozone, O3.O3(g)  The following mechanism has been suggested for the decomposition of ozone, O<sub>3</sub>.O<sub>3</sub>(g)    O<sub>2</sub>(g)  + O(g)  (fast equilibrium)  O(g)  + O<sub>3</sub>(g)    \rarr  2 O<sub>2</sub>(g)  (slow)  Consider the following statements in light of this mechanism: I. The rate law is second order in O<sub>3</sub><sub>.</sub> II. The rate does not depend on the concentration of O<sub>2</sub><sub>.</sub> III. The reaction slows with increased O<sub>2</sub> concentration. IV. The rate law is second order. V. Substances reacting with O atoms will speed up the reaction.Which of the above statements are true? A)  II and V B)  II only C)  I and IV D)  I and III E)  II, IV and V  O2(g) + O(g) (fast equilibrium)
O(g) + O3(g) \rarr 2 O2(g) (slow)
