Notes:
The reaction between ozone and carbon monoxide was reinvestigated in the range of 80-160°C. The previously reported rate law -d[O3]/dt = ka[O3][CO] + kb[O3]2 was confirmed and simulated using a mechanism based on an impurity-initiated chain reaction. When the CO was sufficiently purified, kb tended to zero and ka reduced to the value expected for the thermal decomposition of O3. Subsequent reactions of O atoms with CO produced chemiluminescence which was used to measure k3 for \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ {\rm O}\,\, + \,\,{\rm CO}\,\,\mathop {\longrightarrow}\limits^{\rm 3} \,\,{\rm CO}_{\rm 2} \left( {^3 B_2 } \right) $$\end{document} as 10-14.0±0.3 exp[-(1630 ± 325)/T] cm3 molecule-1 s-1. The implications of this are discussed.
