Ozone, or trioxygen, is an inorganic molecule with the chemical formula O ₃. It is a pale blue gas with a distinctively pungent smell. It is an allotrope of oxygen that is much less stable than the diatomic allotrope O ₂, breaking down in the lower atmosphere to O ₂.
How does ozone dissolve in water?
Lower water temperatures = higher dissolved ozone levels in water
- Colder water dissolves ozone easier.
- adding ice cubes to small volumes of water will increase dissolved ozone levels.
Is o3 miscible in water?
Ozone is only partially soluble into water, this section will cover ozone solubility and what to consider when dissolving ozone into water.
