JEE Main Chemistry question

Statement 1: Equivalent weight of ozone for the change O₃ → O₂ is 24. Statement 2: 1 mole of O₃ on decomposition gives 3/2 moles of O₂.

(A)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is not correct explanation for AssertionCorrect
(B)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is correct explanation for Assertion
(C)Assertion is True, Reason is False
(D)Assertion is False, Reason is True

Answer: (A)

Solution

As an oxidising agent, O₃ + 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → O₂ + H₂O, so n-factor = 2 and equivalent weight = 48/2 = 24 (Statement 1, true). Separately, thermal
