How is O_(3) estimated quantitatively ?

Answer»

Solution :When `O_(3)` is treated with excess of KI solution BUFFERED with borate buffer, `I_(2)`is liberated quantitatively.
`2 I^(-) (aq) + H_(2)O (l) + O_(3)(g) rarr 2 OH^(-) (aq) + I_(2)(s) + O_(2)(g)`
The `I_(2)` thus liberated is titrated against a standard solution of sodium thiosulphate using starch as an indicator and the AMOUNT of OZONE can thus be calculated.
`UNDERSET("Sod. thiosulphate")(2Na_(2)S_(2)O_(3))+I_(2) rarr underset("Sod. tetrathionate")(Na_(2)S_(4)O_(6))+2 Nal`
