    The reaction of ozone with oxygen atoms in the presence of chlorine atoms can occur by a two step process show below:
    \[{{O}_{3}}(g)+C{{l}^{\bullet }}(g)\to {{O}_{2}}(g)+Cl{{O}^{\bullet }}(g)\]……(i)
    \[{{k}_{i}}=5.2\times {{10}^{9}}L\,mo{{l}^{-1}}{{s}^{-1}}\]
    \[Cl{{O}^{\bullet }}(g)+{{O}^{\bullet }}(g)\to {{O}_{2}}(g)+C{{l}^{\bullet }}(g)\]……(ii)
    \[{{k}_{ii}}=2.6\times {{10}^{10}}L\,mo{{l}^{-1}}{{s}^{-1}}\]
    The closest rate constant for the overall reaction\[{{O}_{3}}(g)+{{O}^{\bullet }}(g)\to 2{{O}_{2}}(g)\] is:   JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 09 April 2016)

    A) \[1.4\times {{10}^{20}}L\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\,{{s}^{-1}}\]

    B) \[5.2\times {{10}^{9}}L\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\,{{s}^{-1}}\]                

    C) \[3.1\times {{10}^{10}}L\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\,{{s}^{-1}}\]                

    D) \[2.6\times {{10}^{10}}L\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\,{{s}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    On addition of eq.(1) & (2), we get \[{{O}_{3(g)}}+O_{(g)}^{\bullet }\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}2{{O}_{2(g)}}\] \[\therefore \]\[{{K}_{overall}}={{K}_{i}}\times {{K}_{ii}}\] \[=5.2\times {{10}^{9}}\times 2.6\times {{10}^{10}}\] \[=1.352\times {{10}^{20}}\] \[\simeq 1.4\times {{10}^{20}}\,L\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\,{{s}^{-1}}\]
