question 79

Multiple Choice

Which is a plausible mechanism for the following reaction if the rate law is
2 O₃ → 3 O₂

• A)2 O₃ → O₂ + O₄ (slow) O₄ → 2 O₂ (fast)
• B)2 O₃ → O₆ (slow) O₆ → O₄ + O₂ (fast) O₄ → 2 O₂ (slow)
• C)2 O₃ → O₄^- + O₂⁺ (slow) O₄^- → O₂ + O₂^- (fast) O₂^- + O₂⁺ → 2 O₂ (slow)
• D)O₃ ⇌ O₂ + O∙ (fast) O∙ + O₃ → 2 O₂ (slow)
• E)O₃ ⇌ O₂⁺ + O^- (fast) O^- + O₃ → O₂ + O₂^- (slow) O₂^- + O₂⁺ → 2 O₂ (fast)
