Chapter 14, Problem 109d

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 (slow)

(d) If instead the reaction occurred in a single step, would the rate law change? If so, what would it be?
