Ozone is prepared by the action of silent electric discharge upon oxygen in an apparatus called ozonizer. The reaction
A.is exothermic
B.is endothermic✓ Correct
C.leads to the dissociation of the O₂ molecule
D.leads to the formation of
Explanation
The reaction taking place for the formation of 3 O in the ozonizer is given below: Electric Discharge 2 3 3O 2O → The enthalpy of this reaction is H 248.5 Since the value of H is +Ve. So the reaction absorbs energy i.e. the reaction is endothermic. Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
