How is O3 estimated quantitatively

How is O3 estimated quantitatively?
Answer

Quantitatively, ozone can be estimated with the help of potassium iodide. When ozone is  made to react with potassium iodide solution buffered with a borate buffer (pH 9.2),  iodine is liberated. This liberated iodine can be titrated against a standard solution of sodium thiosulphate using starch as an indicator. The reactions involved in the process  are given below.
