The mass of 1 litre of ozonised oxygen at N.T.P was found to be 1.5g. When a hundred mL of this mixture at N.T.P were treated with turpentine oil, the volume was reduced to 90mL. The molecular mass of ozone is:

Solution
The correct option is C48g As Ozone is absorbed by turpentine oil therefore volume of ozone in hundred ml of the mixture = 100−90=10ml
therefore oxygen in the mixture= 100−10=90ml
as 1 litre of the mixture weigh= 1.5g, therefore average molar mass of the mixture (mass of 22.4L at N.T.P) = 1.5×22.4=33.6grampermole
ratio of ozone : oxygen in the mixture = 10:90
if m is the molecular mass of ozone then
Average molecular mass of mixture:
= (10×m+90×32)100
= m+288g=336g
= m=48g
