The decomposition of ozone has a very high value of equilibrium constant because of its:
Correct answer: D. Instability
- A. Stability
- B. Reactivity
- C. Compressibility
- D. Instability
Explanation
The equilibrium constant for the decomposition of ozone to oxygen is 1055 at 25°C.2O3 → 3O2 Kc= 1055 at 25°CIt infers that at room temperature, O3 is unstable and decomposes very rapidly to O2.

About Reversible Reactions
A reversible reaction proceeds in both forward and backward directions, so reactants and products continue changing until dynamic equilibrium is established. The topic covers the meaning of equilibrium, the equality of forward and reverse rates, and how concentration, pressure and temperature disturb equilibrium, which is separate from the rate at which equilibrium is reached.
