25 Ozone O3 can oxidize HSO3 aq as represented by the

25 Ozone O3 can oxidize HSO3 aq as represented by the equation below HSO3 aq O3 aq HSO4 aq O g A solution is prepared in which the initial concentration of HSO3 aq 6 4 x 10 M is much larger than that of O3 aq 1 0 x 105 M The concentration is monitored as the reaction proceeds and the data are plotted in the graph below 0 1 0 x 10 5 8 0 x 10 6 6 0 x 10 6 4 0 x 10 6 2 0 x 10 6 0 0 0 01 0 02 0 03 0 04 0 05 0 06 0 07 0 08 0 09 0 10 Time s The data are consistent with the following rate law rate k 03 a Based on the graph above determine the half life of the reaction b Determine the value of the rate constant k for the rate law Include units in your answer c Considering the relative concentrations of the reactants briefly explain why the data in the graph are also consistent with the following rate law rate k 03 HSO3 d Briefly describe an experiment that could provide evidence to support the rate law given in part c
