give the answer of statement in the form of chemical equation --when ozone react with an excess of potassium iodide solution buffered with a borate buffer (pH9.2) iodine is liberated which can be titrated against a standard solution of sodium thiosulphate .
Quantitatively, ozone can be estimated with the help of potassium iodide. When ozone is made to react with potassium iodide solution buffered with a borate buffer (pH 9.2), iodine is liberated. This liberated iodine can be titrated against a standard solution of sodium thiosulphate using starch as an indicator. The reactions involved in the process are given below.
2I- + H2O + O3 2OH- + I2 + O2
I2 + 2Na2S2O3 Na2S4O6 + 2NaI
