The reaction of ozone with oxygen atoms in the presence of chlorine atoms can occur by a two-step process shown below:
$O_{3(g)} + Cl_{(g)}^{\bullet} \to O_{2(g)} + ClO_{(g)}^{\bullet}$ ..... $(i)$ $K_i = 5.2 \times 10^9 \ L \ mol^{-1} \ s^{-1}$
$ClO_{(g)}^{\bullet} + O_{(g)}^{\bullet} \to O_{2(g)} + Cl_{(g)}^{\bullet}$ ..... $(ii)$ $K_{ii} = 2.6 \times 10^{10} \ L \ mol^{-1} \ s^{-1}$
The closest rate constant for the overall reaction
$O_{3(g)} + O_{(g)}^{\bullet} \to 2O_{2(g)}$ is ........... $L \ mol^{-1} \ s^{-1}$

$A$ substance $S$ undergoes two reactions under similar reaction conditions:
$\mathop S\limits_{(2.0 \ M)} \xrightarrow{K_0} X$ (zero order)
$\mathop S\limits_{(2.0 \ M)} \xrightarrow{K_2} Y$ (second order)
The time taken for the concentration of $S$ to become half is $40 \ s$ and $10 \ s$ for the zero-order and second-order reactions,respectively. What is the value of the ratio $K_0 / K_2$?

For the following reaction
$2X + Y \xrightarrow{i} P$
the rate of reaction is $\frac{d[P]}{dt} = k[X]$. Two moles of $X$ are mixed with one mole of $Y$ to make $1.0 \ L$ of solution. At $50 \ s$,$0.5 \ mole$ of $Y$ is left in the reaction mixture. The correct statement$(s)$ about the reaction is(are)
(Use: $\ln 2 = 0.693$)
$(A)$ The rate constant,$k$,of the reaction is $13.86 \times 10^{-4} \ s^{-1}$.
$(B)$ Half-life of $X$ is $50 \ s$.
$(C)$ At $50 \ s$,$-\frac{d[X]}{dt} = 13.86 \times 10^{-3} \ mol \ L^{-1} \ s^{-1}$.
$(D)$ At $100 \ s$,$-\frac{d[Y]}{dt} = 3.46 \times 10^{-3} \ mol \ L^{-1} \ s^{-1}$.

Under identical reaction conditions,for a reactant with an initial concentration of $1.386 \, M$,the time taken for the concentration to become half is $40 \, s$ for a first-order reaction and $20 \, s$ for a zero-order reaction. The ratio of the rate constant of the first-order reaction $(K_1)$ to the rate constant of the zero-order reaction $(K_0)$ is ......... $mol \, L^{-1}$.
