Problem
A proposed mechanism for the decomposition of ozone is shown below. Step 1 (slow):
O

(
g
)
→
O
2
(
g
)
+
O
(
g
)
\text{O}_3(g) \rightarrow \text{O}_2(g) + \text{O}(g)
O
3
(
g
)
→
O
2
(
g
)
+
O
(
g
)
Step 2 (fast):
O
(
g
)
+
O
3
(
g
)
→
2
O
2
(
g
)
\text{O}(g) + \text{O}_3(g) \rightarrow 2\text{O}_2(g)
O
