Abstract
The thermal decomposition of ozone was studied from 988–1400°K, and the rate constant for O3 + M → O2 + M was obtained. The results are compared to other studies and to a theoretical calculation (HRRKM). The results may indicate a breakdown in the Boltzmann statistically based HRRKM theory applied to ozone at temperatures above 1060°K and, therefore, point to the increasing importance of vibrational population as the rate‐controlling process.
