Solution

The correct option is C 10%
Oxygen is soluble in an alkaline pyrogallol solution.
Let the original mixture contains x ml of oxygen and (20x) ml of ozone.
2O33O2
Thus, (20x) ml of ozone will give 32(20x)=301.5x ml of oxygen.
This is equal to 29x ml of oxygen.
Hence, 301.5x ml=29x or x=2.
The volume percentage of oxygen in the mixture is 220×100=10 %.
