Explain why ozone is thermodynamically l...

Explain why ozone is thermodynamically less stable then oxgen ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Because decomposition of ozone into oxygen results in the liberation of heat (`Delta`H is negative) and an increase in entropy (`Delta`S is positive), resulting in large negative Gibbs energy change (`Delta`G) for its conversion into oxygen.
