Question

In which one of the following reactions,
ozone acts as a reducing agent?
(A) BaO2+O3 + BaO +2O
(B) 2HCl + O3 H2O + O2
(C)
PBS + 403
PbSO4 + O2
(D) 2KI + O3 + H2O + 2KOH
O A
ОВ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The reaction is as follows:

+4                        +2

BaO2+O3⟶BaO+2O2

The oxidation state of Ba in the above reaction changes from +4 to +2. Hence, Ba is being reduced by O3. So. in the above reaction, O3 acts as a reducing  agent.
