Question
The following mechanism has been proposed for the conversion of ozone to oxygen in the gas phase. step 1: 03 step 2: 03+O0 2 0 (a) Identify the molecularity of each step in the mechanism step1 step 2 (b) Write the equation for the net reaction. Use the smallest integer coefficients possible. If a box is not needed, leave it blank. (e) Identify any intemediates and/or catalysts in this mechanism. Catalyst: Enter formula. If none, leave box blank: Intermediate: Enter formula. If none, leave box blank:Explanation / Answer
a)
In step 1, there is 1 reactant
So, molecularity of step 1 is 1
In step 2, there is 2 reactants
So, molecularity of step 2 is 2
Answer:
1
2
b)
net reaction is obtained by adding both steps
O3 + O3 + O —> O2 + O + 2 O2
which is
2 O3 —> 3 O2
Answer: 2 O3 —> 3 O2
c)
catalyst is present in reactant of 1st step and product of 2nd step
There is no such element
So, there is no catalyst
Intermediate is present in product of 1st step and reactant of 2nd step
O is such an element
Answer:
No catalyst is present here. So, leave the box blank
O is intermediate
