Which of the following statements is correct?
A.Ozone decomposes to give oxygen
B.Ozone is thermodynamically unstable.
C.The decomposition of ozone is exothermic.
D.All of these✓ Correct
Explanation
Ozone decomposes to give oxygen. Ozone is thermodynamically less stable than oxygen. The decomposition of ozone to oxygen results in liberation of heat and therefore, it is exothermic reaction. It gives three molecules of oxygen, the reaction of which is mentioned below- 3 2 2O 3O → Hence, all the statements are correct. Thus, the correct option is (d) All of these
