Question
The image depicts an electrochemical cell setup. It features several key components:

- **Gases**: O₂ and O₃ are labeled on the left side, indicating that oxygen and ozone gases are involved.
- **Gas Bubbles**: Represented as circles within the electrolyte solution, indicating gas diffusion into the cell.
- **Electrolyte**: The solution contains H⁺ ions, suggestive of an acidic environment.
- **Electrode**: A red section labelled "Pt" represents a platinum electrode, typically used as an inert electrode in such reactions.
- **Tubes**: Pipes are shown for gas intake and exhaust, colored in black and green.

Below the diagram is a question regarding which reduction reaction corresponds to the half-cell illustrated.

### Question:
**Which reduction below corresponds to the half-cell above?**

**Select one:**
- a. \( \text{O}_2(g) + 4\text{H}^+ + 4\text{e}^- \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \)
- b. \( \text{O}_3(g) + 2\text{H}^+ + 2\text{e}^- \rightarrow \text{O}_2(g) + \text{H}_2\text{O} \)
- c. \( \text{O}_2(g) + \text{H}^+ + \text{e}^- \rightarrow \text{HO}_2 \)
- d. \( \text{O}_2(g) + 2\text{H}^+ + 2\text{e}^- \rightarrow 2\text{H}_2\text{O}_2 \)

Expert Solution
Step 1

In the given half cell O3 and O2 gas is there and the medium is acidic as H+ ion is there in the solution. So reduction reaction must contain these three species.
