Solution

The correct option is B 77.5%
On heating O3 converts into O2 and the volume increases. Let's say volume of O3 be v and then volume of O2=20v
2O33O2
2v 3v
Since they are disappeared in alkaline pyragallol solution.
20v+3v=29v=4.5ml
Volume of O2 will be 204.5=15.5ml
Volume percent of O2 in the mixture= 15.520=77.5%
