The reaction of ozone with oxygen atoms in the presence of chlorine atoms can occur by a two step process shown below

${O_3}(g)\, + \,C{l^ * }(g)\, \to \,{O_2}(g) + Cl{O^ * }(g)$ ..... $(i)$               $[{K_i} = 5.2 \times {10^9}\,\,L\,mo{l^{ - 1}}\,{s^{ - 1}}]$

$Cl{O^ * }(g) + {O^ * }(g)\, \to \,{O_2}(g) + \,C{l^ * }(g)$ ..... $(ii)$                $[{K_{ii}} = 2.6 \times {10^{10}}\,\,L\,mo{l^{ - 1}}\,{s^{ - 1}}]$

The closest rate constant for the overall reaction 

${O_3}(g){\mkern 1mu}  + {\mkern 1mu} {O^*}(g){\mkern 1mu}  \to {\mkern 1mu} 2{O_2}(g)$ is  ........... $L\,\,mo{l^{ - 1}}\,{s^{ - 1}}$
