below is a two step reaction O 3 + Cl ---> O 2 + Cl0 K 1 = 5.2 * 10 9 L mol -1 s -1 ClO + O ----> O 2 + Cl K 2 = 2.6* 10 10 Lmol -1 s- 1 find rate constant for overall reaction?

below is a two step reaction


O3  + Cl ---> O2 + Cl0      K1 = 5.2 * 109 L mol-1 s-1


ClO + O ----> O2  + Cl      K2  = 2.6* 1010   Lmol-1 s-


 


find rate constant for overall reaction?

Hi sarthak gupta,

second step is 5 times faster than the first step...... so we can consider the first step as the rate determining step (r.d.s).... so the rate constant will be k1
