Detailed Solution

Ozone is known to be a strong oxidizing agent because it releases nascent oxygen which is highly reactive.

  • I has -1 oxidation state in I- and can go up to +7 oxidation state. This implies that iodide ion can easily oxidize in the presence of ozone.
  • The oxidation state of As in AsO33- is +3 and can go up to +5. This implies that it can undergo oxidation in the presence of ozone.
  • Fe exists in +3 and +2 oxidation states. Oxidation of Fe in [Fe(CN)6]3- is +3. Fe is already presented in its highest oxidation state, therefore it cannot be oxidized in the presence of ozone.
  • The oxidation state of Mn in MnO42- is +6 and can go up to +7. Therefore, it can undergo oxidation in the presence of ozone.
