In the lower troposphere, ozone is one of the components of photochemical smog. It is generated in air when nitrogen dioxide, formed by the oxidation of nitrogen monoxide from car exhaust, reacts by the following mechanism:

                                k1            

1) NO2(g)........................................> NO(g) + O(g)

                                     k2

2) O(g) + O2(g)...........................> O3(g), where k1= 6.0 x 10^-3 s^-1   ;

k2= 1.0 x 10^6 L/mol.s   ;

(NO2) = 1.0 x 10^ -9 M and

(O2) = 1.0 x 10 ^-2 M.

Assuming that the rate of formation of atomic oxygen in step 1 equals the rate of its consumption in step 2, calculate the concentration of atomic oxygen, (O).

Enter your answer in scien tific notation
