A certain reaction occurs in the following steps. (i) Cl(g)+O3(g)→ClO(g)+O2(g) (ii) ClO(g)+O(g)→Cl(g)+O2(g). What is the molecularity of each of the elementary steps?

Solution
Both elementary steps are bi-molecular as in each elementary step, two reactant molecules participate to form products. In other words, the molecularity of each of the elementary steps is two.
