Ozone is an allotropic form of oxygen. It is present in the upper atmosphere ( about $$20\,km$$ above the surface of the earth ). It is believed to be formed in the upper atmosphere by the action of $$UV$$ - rays on oxygen as $$3{O_2} + UV{\text{ - rays}} \to 2{O_3},$$ $$\Delta H = 142.7\,kJ\,mo{l^{ - 1}}$$
Therefore, $$UV$$ - rays, which are harmful to human
beings are absorbed by oxygen to form ozone. The layer of ozone, thus formed also prevents the remaining $$UV$$ - rays to reach the earth’s surface.

$$PC{l_3}$$ reacts with water to form
A
$$P{H_3}$$
B
$${H_3}P{O_3},HCl$$
C
$$POC{l_3}$$
D
$${H_3}P{O_4}$$
Answer :
$${H_3}P{O_3},HCl$$

$$PC{l_3}$$ is easily hydrolysed by water to give $$POC{l_3}$$ and finally it gives $${H_3}P{O_3}$$ and $$HCl.$$
$$PC{l_3} + {H_2}O \to POC{l_3} + 2HCl$$
$$POC{l_3} + 3{H_2}O \to {H_3}P{O_3} + 3HCl$$

$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Oxidation state of }}S{\text{ in}}\,\,SO_3^{2 - } \cr
& x + \left( { - 2 \times 3} \right) = - 2, \cr
& x = + 6 - 2 = + 4 \cr
& {\text{Oxidation state of }}S{\text{ in}}\,\,{S_2}O_4^{2 - } \cr
& 2x + \left( { - 2 \times 4} \right) = - 2 \cr
& 2x = + 8 - 2 = + 6 \cr
& x = \frac{{ + 6}}{2} = + 3 \cr
& {\text{Oxidation state of }}S{\text{ in}}\,\,{S_2}O_6^{2 - } \cr
& 2x + \left( { - 2 \times 6} \right) = - 2 \cr
& 2x = + 12 - 2 = 10 \cr
& x = \frac{{10}}{2} = + 5 \cr} $$
Hence, increasing order of oxidation states of $$S$$ is
$${S_2}O_4^{2 - } < SO_3^{2 - } < {S_2}O_6^{2 - }$$
