12.6 Exercise 6

Avg difficulty 2.5

Write the rate law for each of the following elementary reactions:

(a) O3→sunlightO2+O\text{O}_{3} \overset{ \text{sunlight} }{\rightarrow} \text{O}_{2} + \text{O}

(b) O3+Cl⟶O2+ClO\text{O}_{3} + \text{Cl} \rightarrow \text{O}_{2} + \text{ClO}

(c) ClO+O⟶Cl+O2\text{ClO} + \text{O} \rightarrow \text{Cl} + \text{O}_{2}

(d) O3+NO⟶NO2+O2\text{O}_{3} + \text{NO} \rightarrow \text{NO}_{2} + \text{O}_{2}

(e) NO2+O⟶NO+O2\text{NO}_{2} + \text{O} \rightarrow \text{NO} + \text{O}_{2}
