Solution

The given reaction is
$O_{3} (g) + H_{2} O_{2} (l) \to H_{2} O (l) + 2 O_{2} (g)$
It is more appropriate to write this reaction as
$O_{3} (g) + H_{2} O_{2} (l) \to H_{2} O (l) + O_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g)$
This is because oxygen is obtained from ozone as well as hydrogen peroxide and hence, is written separately.
The path can be investigated by using either $^{18} O_{3}$ or $H_{2} O_{2}^{18}$ .
