Problem

A chlorine atom reacts with an ozone molecule in the gas phase according to the elementary reaction Cl(g)+O3(g)→ClO(g)+O2(g)\mathrm{Cl}(g)+\mathrm{O_3}(g)\rightarrow\mathrm{ClO}(g)+\mathrm{O_2}(g) Which rate expression is most consistent with this reaction step? (a) rate =k[Cl]=k[\mathrm{Cl}] (b) rate =k[O3]=k[\mathrm{O_3}] (c) rate =k[Cl][O3]=k[\mathrm{Cl}][\mathrm{O_3}] (d) rate =k[Cl]2[O3]=k[\mathrm{Cl}]^{2}[\mathrm{O_3}]
