What effect does ozone have on water?

Ozone has a direct affect on water. Ozone depletion causes water organisms to die.


In what ways does the use of water affect the ozone layer?

Water if used in limit does not affect ozone. If used more, it affects the ozone.


What is the difference between Ozone water and minerals water?

The difference between ozone water and mineral water is mineral water contains minerals that are beneficial to the body whereas ozone water is extremely clean and pure.


Are both products (ozone and water) molecules?

Yes. The ozone and water are both molecules.


Does ozone affect pH?

No, ozone does not affect PH of water. However as ozone is a powerful oxidizer it can oxidize compounds in the water that may indirectly change the PH of the water.


What values are used in determining how much ozone can be considered safe levels in a standard home?

Usually medical exposure data and statistical analysis are used to establish safe ozone levels.


What is meant by ozonised mineral water?

Ozone is a blue gas with a relative molar mass of 48 and molecular formula of O{-3}. It converts back into oxygen after its oxidising process. This makes it the most eco-friendly treatment known today. Ozone is the ultimate in disinfection. When drinking water is treated with chlorine (chlorine is a highly carcinogenic chemical), the residual chlorine in water is also consumed along with the water. On the other hand ozone, having half the life of only about 20 minutes, unreacted ozone reduces to oxygen, leaving no trace of toxicity in water. The water is free from chlorine. Ozone reacts with impurities such as micro organisms including bacteria, virus, spores, mould and fungi. Chemicals such as chlorine neutralise them. As ozone destroys all micro organisms and it removes disagreeable odours, the resultant water is absolutely safe, pure, fresh and healthy. Ozonised water is colourless and odourless. The advantage of the use of ozone in water is that it does not leave a dangerous chemical residue like many conventional treating chemicals. Ozone generators produce ozone by passing oxygen through an electrical field. Then the generated ozone is bubbled through the water to be treated in a specially designed vessel to control rate of injection. The amount of ozone to diffuse in water depends on the contamination of water.


Is it true that the earth was protected by water near the ozone layer?

No, there was no water near the ozone layer. The ozone layer has been protecting from the UV on it's own.


Do ozone generators remove odor?

Ozone dissolved in water will strip out as the water is splashed. It usually decays within minutes if left in water. Ozone is used (among other things) to destroy odorous compounds in water. H2S (rotten egg smell) is ozone's favorite meal.


Why ozone will not dissolve in water?

Ozone is a non-polar covalent molecule. As water dissolves only polar compounds.


Is it safe to breathe the ozone?

No. It will lyse all the cells lining your esophagus, and destroy your lung tissue. Additionally, ozone with a concentration greater than about 10 wt% is explosive, and will spontaneously deflagrate back to hot oxygen at the tiniest spark.


Decomposition of ozone can be caused by?

Ozone can be decomposed by absorbing an ultraviolet (UV) photon. This is how ozone protects us from UV light. Ozone is unstable, and decays with time. Ozone is photocatalytically decayed by chlorine or bromine. Some ozone production is blocked by water vapor, and water vapor also provides a decay path for ozone.
