Problem

For estimating ozone in the air, a certain volume of air is passed through an acidified or neutral KI solution when oxygen is evolved and iodide is oxidized to give iodine. When such a solution is acidified, free iodine is evolved which can be titrated with standard Na2S2O3\text{Na}_2\text{S}_2\text{O}_3 solution. In an experiment 10 litre of air at 1 atm and 27∘C27^\circ\text{C} were passed through an alkaline KI solution, at the end, the iodine entrapped in a solution on titration as above required 1.5 mL of 0.01 N0.01\,N Na2S2O3\text{Na}_2\text{S}_2\text{O}_3 solution. Calculate volume % of O3\text{O}_3 in sample.
