Substituting (1) in (2) and then in (3) gives
So is the rate of production of O2 = overall rxn rate?
yes! Given the stoich ratio, it does work out.

Is it right to say that the rate of production of O2 is directly equal to the overall reaction rate? Is this because of the molar ratio?
-
can not give a rate expression
Why can't a rxn in equilibrium give a rate expression? Is it because it has both a forward and backward rate? Oh... both the forward and backward rates exist, but because they are equal, I guess the "net rxn rate" would be 0.
