Statement 1: Equivalent weight of ozone in the change O_3 O_2 is 8. Statement 2: 1 mole O_3 on decomposition gives 3 2 moles of O_2.

JEE Main Chemistry question

Statement 1: Equivalent weight of ozone in the change O O is 8.

Statement 2: 1 mole O on decomposition gives moles of O.

(A)Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is correct explanation for Statement 1
(B)Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True; Statement 2 is not correct explanation for Statement 1Correct
(C)Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is False
(D)Statement 1 is False, Statement 2 is True

Answer: (B)

Solution

From , the equivalent weight of ozone is conventionally taken as (Statement 1, true), since 2 mol O is treated as equivalent to 3 mol O i.e. 6 oxidising equivalents. Statement 2 is also true (1 mol O decomposing to
