Extracted text: A proposed mechanism for decomposition of ozone (O,) to oxygen is o, 4 0, + 0. O+ + O, 4 20, Use the steady-state approximation on the concentration of O. atoms to derive the rate law for the process, assuming that the second step is rate limiting and that both steps are irreversible.
