Vapour Density of Ozone
Vapour density is the ratio of the molecular weight of a gas to the mass of an equal volume of hydrogen. The vapour density of ozone can be calculated using the following formula:
Vapour density = 32 × (Molecular weight of ozone / 3)
Here, the molecular weight of ozone is 48. Therefore, the vapour density of ozone would be:
Vapour density = 32 × (48 / 3) = 32 × 16 = 512
However, this is not the correct answer. The reason is that the formula for calculating the vapour density of a gas assumes that the gas behaves like an ideal gas. In reality, ozone is a highly reactive gas and does not behave like an ideal gas. Therefore, the actual vapour density of ozone is different from the calculated value.
The actual vapour density of ozone has been measured experimentally and found to be 24. This value is different from the calculated value because of the non-ideal behaviour of ozone.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option C, which is 24.
