Ozonator

Listing ID #3713180

As an Oxidant ozone is more powerful that Oxygen. This difference is due to the oxidation states .In
water the oxidation state of the hydrogen atoms is +1 and that of oxygen atom is -2 ( hydrogen as
yielded its electron to oxygen and oxygen as acquired an electron from each hydrogen atom ) The
Oxidation State for oxygen atoms is usually - 2. However, in both ozone and molecular oxygen, the
oxygen atoms each have an oxidation state of 0. Therefore, ozone and oxygen are both oxidants
because they are capable of drawing electrons from a source, decreasing the oxidation State of at least
one of their oxygen atoms in the process.
