What is the molecularity and order of the following reaction if rate law is rate \(=\mathrm{K}\left[\mathrm{O}_{3}\right][\mathrm{O}]\) respectively?
\(\mathrm{O}_{3(\mathrm{~g})}+\mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{g})} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{O}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}\)

  1. A 3 and 2
  2. B 3 and 1
  3. C 3 and 2
  4. D 4 and 2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 3 and 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{O}_{3(\mathrm{g})}+\mathrm{O}_{(\mathrm{g})} \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{O}_{2(\mathrm{g})}\)
i. rate \(=\mathrm{k}\left[\mathrm{O}_{3}\right][\mathrm{O}]\)
\(\therefore\) Order of reaction \(=2\)
ii. Molecularity (No. of reactant molecules taking part in reaction) \(=2\)
