Question

How does O3 react with Acidified ferrous sulphate solution

Answer 1

ferrous sulphate (FeSO4) will oxidised to ferric sulphate (Fe2(SO4)3)

Answer 2

Answer:

Ozone reacts with acidified ferrous sulphate solution to form ferric sulphate.

2FeSO₄ + H₂SO₄ + O₃  → Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + H₂O + O₂

Explanation:

Ozone is a triatomic chemical and is an allotropic form of oxygen. It's a potent oxidizer. In fact, it is a more powerful oxidizer than dioxygen. This is due to the fact that it decomposes quickly to produce nascent oxygen, which is more reactive than dioxygen.

O₃ → O₂ + [O]

Ozone oxidises acidified ferrous sulphate solution to ferric sulphate.

2FeSO₄ + H₂SO₄ + O₃  → Fe₂(SO₄)₃ + H₂O + O₂
