Elemantary unimolecular reactions have first order rate laws, elementary bimolecular reactions have second order rate laws. A rate law is often derived from a proposed mechanism by imposing the state approximation or by assuming that there is a pre -equilibrium. A proposed mechanism must be consistent with the experiment rate law. The decomposition of O_(3) obeys themechanism give below Step 1: O_(3)hArrO_(2)+(O) (both forward and backward reactions are fast) Step 2: O_(3)+(O)overset("slow")(to)O_(2)+O_(2) (ignore) backward reaction), the rate of reaction is given by |
