Ozone is triatomic allotropic form of oxygen.It is an unstable , dark blue diamagnetic gas, `O_3` is thermodyanamically unstable and decomposes to `O_2(O_3toO_2+O)` .
Due to the ease with which it liberates atoms of nascent oxygen, it acts as a powerful oxidising agent second only to `F_2` is oxidising power.
A binary compound of oxygen with another element is called oxide.The oxides vary widely in their nature and properties.
`KOH+O_3 to[X]+O_2+H_2O`
[X] is :

A

`K_2O_3`

B

`KO_3`

C

`K_2O`

D

`K_2O_2`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze the reaction between potassium hydroxide (KOH) and ozone (O3) to determine the product [X] that is formed along with oxygen (O2) and water (H2O). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants**: We start with potassium hydroxide (KOH) and ozone (O3). 2. **Understand the Reaction**: Ozone (O3) is known to act as a powerful oxidizing agent. It can oxidize KOH, which is a strong base. 3. **Decomposition of Ozone**: Ozone decomposes into molecular oxygen (O2) and nascent oxygen (O). The reaction can be represented as: \[ 2O_3 \rightarrow 3O_2 + O \] However, in this case, we will focus on how it reacts with KOH. 4. **Write the Overall Reaction**: The reaction between KOH and O3 can be represented as: \[ 2KOH + 5O_3 \rightarrow 2KO_3 + 5O_2 + H_2O \] Here, KO3 is formed as a product. 5. **Identify the Product [X]**: From the overall reaction, we can see that [X] is potassium ozonide, which is represented as KO3. ### Final Answer: Thus, the compound [X] formed in the reaction is **KO3 (Potassium Ozonide)**. ---
