How will you prepare ozone by laboratory method? Explain the structure of ozone.

Answer»

Solution :In the laboratory ozone is prepared by passing electrical discharge through oxygen. At a potential of 20,000 V about `10%` of oxygen os converted into ozone it GIVES a mixture known as ozonised oxygen. Pure ozone is obtained as a PALE BLUE gas by the fractional distillation of liquefied ozonised oxygen.
