Ozone forms in aqueous alkaline solutions by a reaction between the O/sub 3//sup -/ and CO/sub 3//sup -/ radical ions. This reaction has been demonstrated under conditions favorable for the generation of suitable concentrations of these ions by a high-pressure pulse radiolysis technique. The reaction is O/sub 3//sup -/ + CO/sub 3//sup -/ ..-->.. O/sub 3/ + CO/sub 3//sup 2 -/. Its rate constant k/sub (O/sub 3//sup -/+CO/sub 3//sup -/)/ of (6 +- 2) x 10/sup 7/ dm/sup 3/ mol/sup -1/ s/sup -1/ has been determined by computer simulation of the reactions involved.
