Oxidation Potential, otherwise reffered to as redox potential, is the measurement of the tendancy of a chemical species to acquire electrons, ane be reduced.\u00a0 Oxidation Potential is measured as a voltage.\u00a0 Greater oxidation potential indicates a greater tendancy to be reduced, and thereby create an electron exchange with other chemicla species.<\/p>\n
Ozone has one of the highest oxidation potentials, lower only than flruorine atom, oxygen atom, and hydroxyl radical.\u00a0 Some of the reactions of ozone create the oxygen atom and hydroxyl radical to create an even higher oxidation potential than ozone alone.<\/p>\n
Because of the high oxidation potetnail the oxygen molecule has a high capacity to react with many compounds not easiy oxidized by other chemicals.\u00a0 This potential is especially important reactions with some inorganic species such as FE+2\u00a0 and I-.\u00a0 However, in many cases there is no explicit electron transfer, but rather an oxygen transfer from the ozone molecule to the other compound.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Example of ion exchange oxidation of ozone and iron:<\/strong><\/p>\n Fe+2 + O3 = FE+3 + O3-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Example of oxygen atom exchange oxidation of ozone and iron:<\/strong><\/p>\n 2Fe2+ + O3 + H2 O \u2192 2Fe3+ + O2 + 2OH-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Both reactions can occur with organic and inorganic compounds.\u00a0 This is just one simple example of ozone oxication reactions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Oxidation Potential, otherwise reffered to as redox potential, is the measurement of the tendancy of a chemical species to
