    3) O (g) is an intermediate; 2O3 (g) →3O2 (g)

    Explanation:

    The decomposition of ozone to yield oxygen occurs in a sequence of steps. The various non-elementary reactions involved constitute the reaction mechanism. In the sequence of reaction steps O (g) serves as an intermediate.

    The overall reaction involves the conversion of two moles of ozone to three moles of oxygen as shown in the answer. Thus the O (g) is merely a reaction intermediate.
