Equation of the reaction:

O3 (g) + NO (g) ⟶ O2 (g) + NO2 (g)

From the Rate Law:

R = k[O3][NO]

The order of NO is 1 and that of O3 is also 1, therefore order of reaction = 1 + 1

= 2

Given:

Concentration of O3, [O3] = 7.0*10^-4M

Concentration of NO, [NO] = 5.0*10^-5M

Rate constant, k = 3.0 * 10^6M^-1s^-1

R = 3.0*10^6 * 7.0*10^-4 * 5.0*10^-5

= 0.105 M/s
