The remaining fraction is . Using the tabulated value rather than replacing it by the fitted value, the constant ozone concentration makes nitrogen dioxide loss a pseudo-first-order reaction:
Integrating with initial concentration and gives
This uses the nitrate-radical quasi-steady-state approximation over the interval, constant temperature and ozone concentration, and no extra nitrogen dioxide sources or sinks. The stated and units cancel directly; no factor of is needed.
