$BaO_{2(s)} + O_{3(g)} \rightarrow BaO_{(s)} + 2 O_{2(g)}$

(B) Ozone acts as a reducing agent in reactions where it reduces peroxides to oxides,while itself being reduced to oxygen.In the reaction $BaO_{2(s)} + O_{3(g)} \rightarrow BaO_{(s)} + 2 O_{2(g)}$,ozone reduces barium peroxide $(BaO_2)$ to barium oxide $(BaO)$.
