Question: Apply the steady-state approximation to the intermediate oxygen atom concentration [O] and use the equation you derive for [O] to substitute for [O] in #2

Apply the steady-state approximation to the intermediate oxygen atom concentration [O] and use the equation you derive for [O] to substitute for [O] in #2 to give the differential rate equation in the box below in terms of only k1, k-1, k2, [O2], and [O3] (i.e., use the SST to get rid of the [O] in #2 above). Show your algebra neatly and succinctly.

Apply the steady-state approximation to the intermediate oxygen atom concentration [O] and

Here is #2:

use the equation you derive for [O] to substitute for [O] in

From the proposed mechanism, write down the equation for the rate of DISappearance of ozone in terms of k1, k-1, k2, [O], [O2], and [O3]. To help you get started, I wrote down one of the three terms in the equation for you.

#2 to give the differential rate equation in the box below in

dtd[O3]= The experimentally determined rate law for the decomposition of ozone to oxygen molecules, 2O3(g) 3O2(g), is rate =k[O3]2[O2]1. The proposed mechanism is given below: O3k1k1O2+OO+O3k22O2 dtd[O3]=k1[O][O2]+
