JEE Advanced levelNumerical answerDifficulty 3 of 3pn073

A 2.24 L sample (at STP) of ozonised oxygen (a mixture of and only) is passed through excess KI solution. The iodine liberated requires 38.4 mL of 0.500 M for complete reaction (; ). Taking = 16 and molar volume 22.4 L/mol at STP, calculate the mass percentage of ozone in the sample. Give the answer to two decimal places.

Numerical answer type, answer in %, tolerance 0.01.

Answer: 13.74 %

Moles thiosulphate = ; moles = moles . Total gas = mol, so = 0.0904 mol. Mass of = g and of = g. Mass percent of = .
