Solution: The gas-phase decomposition of ozone is thought to occur by the following two-step mechanism.Step 1: O3(g) ⇌ O2(g) + O(g) (fast)Step 2: O(g) + O3(g) → 2 O2(g) (slow)Write the balanced equation for the

The gas-phase decomposition of ozone is thought to occur by the following two-step mechanism.
Step 1: O₃(g) ⇌ O₂(g) + O(g) (fast)
Step 2: O(g) + O₃(g) → 2 O₂(g) (slow)

Write the balanced equation for the overall reaction.
