Detailed Solution

Preparation:
1) Pure, cold and dry O2 is subjected to silent electric discharge, then ozone is formed
2) This process is carried out in an apparatus called ozonizer
3O2dischargesilent electric2O3,ΔH=284.5kJ/ mole 

Reactions:
a) Ozone oxidizes black Pbs to white PbSo4
PbS+4O3PbSO4+4O2
b) Ozone oxidizes moist KI to I2
2KI+H2O+O32KOH+I2+O2
c) When ozone is passed through liquid mercury then mercury loses its meniscus and stick to the walls of container. This is called tailing of mercury
2Hg+O3Hg2O+O2
d) Ozone oxidizes Ag to Ag2O
2Ag+O3Ag2O+O2
e) Ethylene oxidizes ozone to ethylene ozonide which on hydrolysis in the presence of Zn dust gives formaldehyde

f) C2H2: Acetylene oxidizes ozone to acetylene ozonide which on hydrolysis in the presence of Zn dust gives glyoxal.
