A reaction that contributes to the depletion of ozone in the stratosphere is the direct reaction of oxygen atoms with ozone:
O(g) + O3(g)→2 O2(g)
At 298 K the rate constant for this reaction is 4.8 × 105 M-1 s-1. (a) Based on the units of the rate constant, write the likely rate law for this reaction. (b) Would you expect this reaction to occur via a single elementary process? Explain why or why not (c) Use ΔHf° values from Appendix C to estimate the enthalpy change for this reaction. Would this reaction raise or lower the temperature of the stratosphere?
