Properties of Ozone
Pure ozone is a pale blue gas, dark blue liquid and violet-black solid. Ozone has a characteristic smell and in small concentrations it is harmless. However, if the concentration rises above about 100 parts per million, breathing becomes uncomfortable resulting in headache and nausea. Ozone is thermodynamically unstable with respect to oxygen since its decomposition into oxygen results in the liberation of heat (?H is negative) and an increase in entropy (?S is positive). These two effects reinforce each other, resulting in large negative Gibbs energy change (?G) for its conversion into oxygen. It is not really surprising, therefore, high concentrations of ozone can be dangerously explosive.
