Question

The reaction of ozone with oxygen atoms in the presence of chlorine atoms can occur by a two step process shown below :
O3(g) + Cl•(g) → O2(g) + ClO•(g) ____ (i)
ki=5.2×109Lmol1s1
ClO•(g) + O•(g) → O2(g) + Cl•(g) ____ (ii)
kii=2.6×1010Lmol1s1
The closest rate constant for the overall reaction O3(g) + O•(g) → 2O2(g) is :
