Question: Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent. Using ozone as the oxidant, write equations to represent oxidation of (a) Br (aq) to BrO (aq)

Ozone is a powerful oxidizing agent. Using ozone as the oxidant, write equations to represent oxidation of 

(a) Br(aq) to BrO(aq) (hypobromite); 

(b) NO(g) to NO2(g); 

(c) Fe2+(aq) to Fe3+(aq) in acidic solution;

(d) Ag(s) to AgO(s); 

(e) [Fe(CN)6]4 to [Fe(CN)6]3 in basic solution. The half-equations for the reduction of O3 in acidic and basic solutions are given in Table D.4 of Appendix D.
