Problem

The following elementary steps have been proposed for a gas-phase reaction. Step 1: O3+NO→NO2+O2\mathrm{O_3 + NO \rightarrow NO_2 + O_2} Step 2: O3+NO2→NO3+O2\mathrm{O_3 + NO_2 \rightarrow NO_3 + O_2} Step 3: NO3+NO→2 NO2\mathrm{NO_3 + NO \rightarrow 2\,NO_2} Determine the overall balanced chemical equation implied by this mechanism.
