When a silent electric discharge is passed through dry oxygen, ozone is formed. Oxygen is never converted into ozone completely and we always obtain a mixture of oxygen and ozone. This mixture is called ozonized oxygen.
3O2→2O3The reaction is initiated by a sparkless or silent electric discharge, to produce less heat, as ozone is prone to decomposing back into oxygen with an increase in temperature

Ozone is prepared by passing silent electric discharge through oxygen gas taken in an ozoniser. 3O2 ---- > 2O3 (g) Conversion of oxygen is only 10%. Hence Ozone formed always contains oxygen along with it and is called ozonised oxygen. Pure ozone is obtained by using Ozone batteries.
