Consider the following elementary reaction equation.

2 O₂(g) + Cl(g) → ClO(g) + O₃(g)  → Assume rate-determining step

Rate Law:

$\boxed{\mathbf{Rate}\mathbf{ }\mathbf{=}\mathbf{ }\mathbf{k}{\mathbf{\left[}{\mathbf{O}}_{\mathbf{2}}\mathbf{\right]}}^{\mathbf{2}}\mathbf{\left[}\mathbf{Cl}\mathbf{\right]}}$

Concentrations are raised to power of each coefficient
