by silent electric discharge

Vedclass · Answer

(C) Ozone $(O_3)$ is prepared from oxygen $(O_2)$ by passing silent electric discharge through pure,dry oxygen. This process is endothermic and requires energy to break the strong $O=O$ bond in the oxygen molecule. The reaction is as follows:$3O_2 \xrightarrow{	ext{Silent electric discharge}} 2O_3$ $(\Delta H = +142 \ kJ/mol)$Since the reaction is endothermic,a silent electric discharge is used to prevent the decomposition of ozone back into oxygen due to excessive heat. Thus,option $(c)$ is correct.
