Solution
The correct option is B volumetric method using KI and titration of the liberated iodine using hypo solution. Below are the reactions that take place in volumetric method for estimation of ozone using KI. The liberated I2 is titrated using S2O2−3 solution. 2KI(neutral)+O3+2HCl⟶I2+2KOHKI+KOI+O2KI+KOI+2HCl⟶2KCI+I2+H2OI2+2S2O2−3⟶S4O2−6+2I⎫⎪
