Chemical formula of anion in peroxide, superoxide, ozonide of alkali metals :
The chemical reaction 2O3→3O2 involves two elementary steps : O3fast−−→O2+O;O+O3Slow−−−→2O2 The differential rate law expression will be :
The reaction ; 2O3 → 3O2, is assigned the following mechanism.
(I) O3⇋O2+O (ii)O3+Oslow⇌2O2
The rate law of the reaction will therefore be
