Consider the following set of three reversible elementary reactions:
R1:O2 + M ↔ O + O + M
R2: O2 + O↔ O3
R3: O + O3↔ O2 + O2
Write expressions for the time-rate-of-change of molar concentration of the four species O, O2, O3, and M for this reaction set. Your expressions should be in terms of the molar concentrations of the four species involved in the reactions, and the forward and reverse rates for the three reactions.
