Vedclass · Answer

(A) In the given reaction,the oxidation state of oxygen in $O_3$ changes from $0$ to $-2$ (in $OH^-$) and $0$ (in $O_2$).Specifically,the oxygen atom in ozone gains electrons to form $OH^-$,which is a reduction process.Since $O_3$ undergoes reduction,it causes the oxidation of $I^-$ to $I_2$ (where the oxidation state of $I$ changes from $-1$ to $0$).Therefore,$O_3$ acts as an oxidizing agent.

In the reaction $2 I^{-}_{(aq)} + H_2O_{(l)} + O_{3(g)} \rightarrow 2 OH^{-}_{(aq)} + I_{2(s)} + O_{2(g)}$,ozone acts as
