One reaction that destroys O3 molecules in the stratosphere is NO + O3 → NO2 + O2 When this reaction was studied in the laboratory, it was found to be first order with respect to both NO and O3, with a rate constant of 1.9 x 104 L mol-1 s-1. If [NO] =1.2 x 10-5 mole L-1 and [O3] = 2.0 x 10-5, what is the rate of this reaction? (NB;Please this is my assignment question and i desperately need your help.Thank you)

You would plug the concentrations into the rate equation: rate= k[NO][O3] with k being the rate constant.
