Question

Statement 1: Equivalent mass of ozone in the change $O_{3} \to O_{2}$ is $8$.
Statement 2: $1$ mole of $O_3$ on decomposition gives $3/2$ mole of $O_{2}$

• A. If both Statement $1$ and Statement $2$ are true and the statement $2$ is the correct explanation of the statement $1$.
• B. If both Statement $1$ and Statement $2$ are true but statement $2$ is not the correct explanation of the statement $1$.
• C. If Statement $1$ is true but Statement $2$ is false.
• D. If Statement $1$ is false but Statement $2$ is true

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$2O_{3} \to 3O_{3}; 2 \,mole O_{3} \equiv 3 \times 4 \,eq. \,O_{2} $
$\therefore E_{O_3} = \frac{M}{6} = \frac{48}{6} = 8 \,EO$
